(AKS 1b1 / DOK 2) Patients with a genetic condition known as cystic fibrosis struggle with symptoms such as lung and digestive problems. The cells of patients with the disease do not transport water or other materials out of the cell efficiently. Therefore, patients' cells have a build up of water and other substances inside the cell. Which of the following BEST describes how cystic fibrosis impacts cells? A. Cystic fibrosis affects the cell membrane increasing cellular transport and homeostasis O B. Cystic fibrosis affects the lysosomes increasing cellular transport and homeostasis C. Cystic fibrosis affects the Golgi decreasing cellular transport and homeostasis D. Cystic fibrosis affects the cell membrane decreasing cellular transport and homeostasis

Hematology

Hematology is the branch of biology. Hematology is the medical field that deals with the treatment of blood disorders and cancers, such as hemophilia, leukemia, lymphoma, and sickle-cell anemia. Hematologists and hematopathologists are medical professionals who specialize in illnesses of the blood and its components.
