Case Study Cystic Fibrosis
Question number 1
The disease cystic fibrosis causes the buildup of salts to occur outside the cells of the tissue that lines human lungs. The salt draws in water, creating sticky, thick mucus that causes chronic breathing difficulties and eventually death. Which cell organelle is most likely defective in this case, and why? Solution
According the medical experiment, cystic fibrosis disrupts the normal functioning of epithelial cells whose working is to make sweet glands in various parts of body (National Institute of Health). Additionally it also provides the gateway for digestive system, lungs and livers. Experiments had proved the possible cause of this disease is in inheritance and recently, more than thirty thousand children in USA …show more content…
are involved in this disease (Cystic Fibrosis Foundation).
Question number 2
Which property of water described in class do you feel is most important to living things, and why? Provide specific examples to support your example? Solution Water is a universal solvent Water is the natural jewel of nature whose benefits are above anything. As the property of dissolving the solvents, water has capacity to dissolve variety of material in it and this attribute is only specified for water, no other solvent has capability to dissolve variety of materials. In human being, major constituent of body is supported by water and it provides healthful track for body processes like breaking down the food, dissolving salts and sugar and normalizing the body fatigue syndromes. Water has arrangement of oxygen and hydrogen compound which make it unique in many reactions.
Question number 3
Explain what would happen to the cells depicted in the diagrams below and why it would happen?
Solution 10/80 ratio of salt and water Water is the essential need of proper functioning of body but it requires some amount of sodium chloride (salt) for long-term health. If the ratio of sodium chloride rides ten percent and water with ninety percentages it will be miracle, because it will not only help the proper digestion of food but also result mental well-being. This percentage is said to be perfect ratio. 20/80 ratio of salt and water Comparing the percentages of figure one and two, if ratio of water is reduced to eighty percent and salt ratio influxes to twenty percent, this condition will be above average. As there is not a big deal in this condition but higher level of sodium chloride is dangerous for the individual having hypertension disorder. That`s why doctors avoid the patients from high salt consumption if patient has symptoms of hypertension and acute headache. 50/50 ratio of salt and water This level of ratio is seriously abnormal, because it is responsible for malfunctioning of body fluids that are directly integrated with the level of sodium chloride. It results the high level of salty odor in sweet, it also disturbs the digestive system and can result the mental abnormalities like hypertension, anxiety, stress and insomnia (Sleep
problems).
