Active transport;

The movement of particles would be most affected by a disorder that causes damage to carrier proteins is the active transport.

Explanation;

Active transport involves the movement of materials against the concentration gradient.

This type of transport requires energy in form of ATP to aid the movement of particles from a lower concentration to a higher concentration.

Active transport requires carrier proteins such as the sodium-Potassium pump, to move materials in and out of the cell.
