Answer: ATP and transport proteins .

Explanation:

Active transport is characterized by the movement of substances and ions against the concentration gradient, that is, it always occurs from places where they are less concentrated to places where they are more concentrated. The sodium-potassium pump is an example of active transport. Sodium concentration is higher in the extracellular environment while potassium is higher in the intracellular environment. Importantly, the energy required for this change comes from the breakdown of the ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecule into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and phosphate. That is, energy is derived from the degradation of ATP or another high energy phosphate compound, depending on transport proteins.

Answer:

The correct answer is - by absorbing too much sodium and water into the cells in the respiratory system.

Explanation:

Cystic fibrosis or CF is a genetic disorder that is caused by the presence of two defective genes that leads to the production of thick and sticky mucus in an individual that affects the respiratory and digestive system by clogging mucus in it.

Due to defective genes, there is an abnormal electrolyte transport system develops in which cells of the respiratory system including the lungs absorb an excessive amount of salt (sodium) and water. It all caused by deletion of the three letters which means an amino acid from a gene that leads to the disruption of the protein that controls the production of the mucus and abnormal electrolyte transport.
