Answer:

The correct answer is - due to osmosis water retained in the cell.

Explanation:

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that is autosomal recessive and occurs if the offspring of the generation get one copy of the mutated gene from both parents, affects the digestive system and lung in the child. It can be life-threatening.

If cystic fibrosis causes a genetic defect in which the chloride ions can not move out of the cell. This is abnormal in cells which cause water to retained in the cell and make it thick than the normal due to osmosis. This is the case that leads to the produce thick mucus in the digestive tract or lungs.

Thus, the correct answer is - due to osmosis water retained in the cells.

The pupil opens and closes automatically in response to light.What part of your nervous system controls this response and is it
Zigmanuir [339]

Describe how the nervous and muscular systems interact to maintain homeostasis when a person's body temp drops
Mazyrski [523]

Homeostasis is the ability to maintain constant internal conditions when outside conditions change.

For example, when temperatures in the body fall below 37° C, the nervous system signals the muscular system to

cause the body to shiver. When you shiver, your muscles move. Tiny muscles attached to hairs on the skin contract and pull the hairs up straight, forming goose bumps. This movement generates thermal energy and helps raise body

temperature. Keeping the body’s temperature constant requires that the endocrine system, the nervous system, and the muscular system work together.
