The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks which transport mechanisms are sensitive to inhibitors. The options provided are uniporters, simporters, antiporters, or all of the above. 2. **Defining Uniporters**: A uniporter is a type of transport protein that facilitates the movement of a single type of ion or molecule across the cell membrane. This process can be sensitive to inhibitors that affect the transport mechanism. 3. **Defining Simporters**: A simporter is a transport protein that moves two different ions or molecules in the same direction across the cell membrane. Like uniporters, simporters can also be affected by inhibitors. 4. **Defining Antiporters**: An antiporter is a transport protein that carries two different ions or molecules in opposite directions across the cell membrane. Antiporters are also sensitive to inhibitors. 5. **Conclusion**: Since all three types of transport mechanisms (uniporters, simporters, and antiporters) are sensitive to inhibitors, the correct answer is option D: all the above. **Final Answer**: Option D: all the above. ---
