Why does a defective chloride channel result in sticky mucus in the airways?
Wiki User
∙ 10y ago
The defective channel causes a build up of chlorine ions in the airways cells. This higher concerntration of chlorine causes water to enter ther cell via osmosis. The water is removed from the mucus in the airway and because the chloride channel is no longer letting chlorine out the water remains in the cell and not in the mucus.

Synthesis of a defective protein may result from an alteration in?
a base sequence code
When the repair mechanism for DNA fails the result is?
Failure of the DNA repair mechanism can result in cancer, mutation or a defective enzyme.
How is the high osmolarity of the renal medulla is maintained?
Counter-current multiplication which occurs on the Vasa Recta helps maintain high osmolarity in the renal medulla Sodium Chloride (NaCl, or salt) is pumped out of the ascending limb of the loop of Henle. The result is that the renal medulla has a high salt concentration, and therefore a low water concentration.

What kind of salts are in human sweat?
Sweat is largely water. There is no salt in human sweat. Human sweat tastes salty because it contains potassium chloride, not sodium chloride. Salt's main function is as a fluidic electrolyte in blood tissue, and is used in muscle contraction causing calcium and potassium to shift in the muscle cells, the heart muscle cells as well, allowing for engery to be used. Salt is regulated by nephrons of the kidneys (1 million in each) and is excreeted into the urine. High blood sodium/salt levels usually result in high salt content in urine. Sweat and urine are drinkable fluids in the absence of water and can save your life in a crisis.
Why do many inherited conditions result from defective enzymes?
Inherited condition result from defective enzymes because enzymes are proteins and genes encode them.
What is a common error of defective charges?
What is a common ERROR, or what is a common RESULT?A common result of a defective charge is that the judge may well dismiss the defective charge WITHOUT PREJUDICE, which gives the prosecution the opportunity to re-file the proper (or amended) charge if they wish to do so.

Why should silver chloride be protected from light will result be high or low if you don't protect your silver chloride?
When the light hits silver chloride it loses electrons and becomes metal and chlorine, so the result would be low.
When sodium chloride dissolves in water how many solute molecules result?
This depends on the amount of sodium chloride.
What happen when you swallow chloride?
Swallowing a pure tablet of calcium chloride can result in the burning of the esophagus and stomach.
When the repair mechanism for DNA fails the result is?
Failure of the DNA repair mechanism can result in cancer, mutation or a defective enzyme.
When sodium chloride desolves in water how many solute molecules result from each molecule of solid dessolved?
when sodium chloride dissolves in water, how many solute molecules result?
What is the result of a sodium atom transferring an electron to a chloride atom?
One formula unit of the salt sodium chloride.
Why does silver nitrate test provide negative result on the presence of a chloride ion?
Due to presence of chloride ion
