Select the correct statments regarding transport of molecules across the cell membrane.     Non-mediated transport is susceptible to saturation of transporter/channel proteins.     Channels and transporters need not use energy to transport solute down the concentration gradient.     The Na+/K+ antiport takes advantage of electrochemical gradients to exchange Na+ and K+ ions across the cell membrane.     Active transport via electrochemical gradients relies on the passive transport of one solute to transport a second solute against the concentration gradient.
