Draw a conclusion about the relationship of chloride ions to the excessively thick mucus in a patient suffering from cystic fibrosis

This is yet under the rigorous study of scientist and there was two hypothesis considered between the relationship of thick mucus and chloride ions. However, in cystic fibrosis patients, one thing is common, there is an imbalance of chloride ions in epithelial cells.   The imbalance of chloride postulated are the high concentration of chloride inside or outside the epithelial cells. Overall, there is a disruption of chloride ion flow which also disrupts the flow of water in cellular osmosis.

The answer to this will be from your lab notes/procedure. it would be best to ask another student who participated in the lab as we do not know what was done, what enzyme or if the temperature is celsius or fahrenheit. if i were to guess though i'd say the rate stopped due to enzyme denturing at high temperature
