What is the relation between cystic fibrosis and osmosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hmm: Besides both of them ending in -is, not much. But cystic fibrosis results from abnormal electrolyte movement across cell membranes in various organs of the body. Osmosis is a method of movement of molecules across membranes as well.
