Antiport is a type of cotransport where two different substances move in opposite directions across a cell membrane through the same channel or carrier protein. This matches the description of sodium moving into the cell and potassium moving out via the same channel. Active/passive transport refer to energy use, not directional movement of two solutes, while symport involves movement in the same direction.
