which movement of particles would be most affected by a disorder that causes damage to carrier proteins? diffusion passive transport active transport osmosis

Explanation:

Diffusion is the movement of particles from high - to low - concentration without the help of carrier proteins. Passive transport includes diffusion and osmosis and often does not require carrier proteins (facilitated diffusion is an exception but not the main mode). Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a semi - permeable membrane and does not rely on carrier proteins for water movement. Active transport is the movement of particles against their concentration gradient and always requires carrier proteins to move substances across the cell membrane. So, damage to carrier proteins would most affect active transport.

Answer:

C. active transport
