Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disorder that causes affected individuals to excrete greater amounts of sodium and chloride than individuals without cystic fibrosis do. As a result, in some individuals the fluid surrounding the blood cells (blood plasma) has a lower concentration of sodium and chloride than the inside of the red blood cells. The image below shows a red blood cell under normal conditions. Which of the following models best represents the red blood cells of an individual affected by cystic fibrosis? Hypertonic
