Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease in humans in which the cftr protein, which functions as a chloride ion channel, is missing or nonfunctional in cell membranes.
the cftr protein belongs to what category of membrane proteins?
a) gap junctions
b) aquaporins
c) electrogenic ion pumps
d) cotransporters
e) hydrophilic channels

The correct answer is - option C. electrogenic ion pumps

Explanation:

The CFTR protein which acts as the chloride ion Channel this Chanel is belongs to the Electrogenic pumps. These are also is categorize as the ABC Protein channel.

Electrogenic pumps are primary active transporters that hydrolyzes the ATP and the produced energy is used to transfer ions (cl ion in this case) across the membrane to generate the gradient across the membranes.

Thus, the correct answer is - option C. electrogenic ion pumps.

false because ozone (o3) depletion does not cause global warming, but both of these environmental problems have a common cause: human activities that release pollutants into the atmosphere altering it.

global warming is caused primarily by putting too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere when coal, oil, and natural gas are burned to generate electricity or to run our cars.
