Cystic Fibrosis

CYSTIC FIBROSIS/ RESEARCH: is when your body can't produce the right lung cells and there is a genetic flaw in the production of them. Which makes causes the production of abnormally thick mucus, leading to the blockage of pancreatic ducts and intestines, which usually results in respiratory infection.
(This picture shows the mucus getting stuck in lung, which shows Cystic Fibrosis)


In this picture he has to use a vest specially made for people with cystic fibrosis. The vest vibrates and loosens the mucus in there lungs and makes them cough it up, which makes it easier to breath

Osmosis

Osmosis: A process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one. thus equalizing the concentrations on each side of the membrane

Steps: First we put water in the dialysis bag, then we put the nasty egg powder on the beaker.


Hypothesis: we thought the water would go through the bag and combine with the egg powder

Claim: Our hypothesis was right the water in the dialysis bag combined with the egg powder














Step: First we filled dialysis bag with water and put sugar in the bag then we filled the beaker with egg powder then after that we waited 3 days

Claim: Our hypothesis was right, the water in the dialysis bag combined with the egg powder






Step 1: fill dialysis bag with water
Step 2: fill beaker with water then put sugar
Step3: put urine strips into the bag and beaker to see if there was any glucose in it should be none in the bag

Hypothesis: The glucose would make its way into the bag and some would stay in the beaker

 Claim: The glucose from the beaker went through the dialysis bag into the water





 Step 1 : put water in the beaker and the dialysis bag Step 2 put the same amount of egg powder in the beaker and the bag (3.79g) Step3: mix the egg powder in the beaker and the bag

Hypothesis: Our hypothesis was that the bag and the beaker would be the exact same because we put the same amount of egg powder in both

Claim : The bag lost some volume and the beaker gained some but the bag only lost .28 grams and the beaker gained . 28grams
