Transportation of some molecules can not be through simple diffusion due to their size or other factors.

Therefore carrier proteins known as transporters are needed to facilitate their transportation.

Transporters exhibit or demonstrate characteristics such as competition,

During competition, presence of a certain molecule decreases the transportation of another molecule.

When Uric acid transportation is decreased due to the presence of probenecid is a good example of competition.

When blood supplies oxygen and food to a cell surface and these molecules diffuse across, we might expect some "resting time." H
siniylev [52]

Answer:

Option (e).

Blood is the main connective tissue of the body. Blood helps in the transport of oxygen, nutrients and the excretory product of the body. Blood also provides immunity as it contains white blood cells.
