(a) The photograph shows part of one epithelial cell from the wall of the small intestine.

DO NOT WRITE IN THIS AREA WRITE IN DO NOT This toxin affects the CFTR protein found in the membrane of intestinal epithelium cells. The toxin causes the CFTR protein to pump more chloride ions out of these cells into the intestine. This causes a lot of water to be lost in the faeces. Explain how the toxin causes this water loss.

(c) The CFTR protein is also found in the membrane of epithelial cells in the lungs. Cystic fibrosis is a recessive genetic condition caused by mutations of the allele for the CFTR protein. DO NOT WRITE IN THIS AREA WRITE IN DO NOT This can result in the production of thick, highly viscous mucus in the bronchioles and bronchi. Explain why the blood of people with cystic fibrosis has a low oxygen concentration.
