Answer:

<h2>1. K+/Cl- symporter</h2><h2>2.indirect active transport</h2>

Explanation:

Such type of the integral membrane proteins that that plays important role in the transport of many ions or molecules across the membrane at a same in the same direction is called as symporters such as K+/Cl- symporter and some other. Such type of transport in which energy is required is called active transport. When energy is required in inward direction then called indirect active transport.
