"Facilitative transporter of glucose" is not a role of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR).

<u>Option:</u> B

<u>Explanation:</u>

A protein and chloride pathway of membrane, in vertebrates encoded with the CFTR gene is understood as "Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)". The CFTR gene codes for an ABC-class transporter ion channel protein that conducts chloride ions through epithelial membranes of cells.

The protein helps to keep the salt and water equilibrium on many surfaces in the body, including the lung surface. When the protein doesn't work properly, chloride — a salt part — gets trapped in cells.

Show the following as a food chain: omnivore, autotroph, herbivore
Thepotemich [5.8K]

omnivore⇒herbivore⇒autotroph

this is because an autotroph makes its own food (photosynthesis) so it doesn't have the need to eat other organisms. Herbivores eat only plans (remember this with the word herb is a type of plant) and an omnivore will eat either meat or plants so it can eat either of the things below it.
