Consider the following statements and choose the correct answer:
$I.$ Carrier proteins are needed by both facilitated diffusion and active transport and are sensitive to inhibitors that react with protein side chains.
$II.$ Different types of proteins present in the membrane play a major role in both active as well as passive transport.
$III.$ The carrier proteins needed by facilitated and active transport are specific.
$IV.$ There is no need of energy to pump molecules against a concentration gradient in active transport.
$V.$ Transport rate reaches a saturation point when all the active proteins are used.

  • A
    $I, II, III, IV$ and $V$
  • B
    $I, II$ and $III$
  • C
    $V, IV$ and $I$
  • D
