Vedclass · Answer

(C) Porins are large proteins that form pores in the outer membranes of mitochondria,plastids,and some bacteria,allowing the passage of small-sized molecules. These are classified as transport proteins.Transport proteins are categorized into two types: channel proteins and carrier proteins.Channel proteins form tunnels or channels in the membrane that allow the movement of appropriate-sized solutes.Carrier proteins bind to the specific solute to be transported and undergo conformational changes to deliver the solute to the other side of the membrane.All four statements $(I, II, III, IV)$ are scientifically correct descriptions of these transport mechanisms.

$S.no.$	Property	Facilitated diffusion	Active Transport	Simple Diffusion
$I.$	Highly specific	Yes	Yes	No
$II.$	Energy as $ATP$	No	Yes	No
$III.$	Saturation point reached when all carrier proteins are used	Yes	Yes	No
$IV.$	Require transport proteins	Yes	Yes	No
