So the flowchart should go like this:
Mutation in the CFTR gene >>>>>> Production of defective CFTR protein >>>>>> defective CFTR protein in cell membrane or no protein at all   >>>>>>>   Impaired ion transport across the cells   >>>>>>>   Cells secrete less chloride >>>>>>>   leads to more re-absorption of sodium and water into the cells   >>>>>>>   decreased hydration of mucus present outside the cells as more water is absorbed into the cells    >>>>>>>>   thick viscous mucus.

valkas [14]

Answer:

From the given information, the transport of glucose in blood across the red blood cells takes place by facilitated diffusion, that involves the spontaneous passive-transport with the help of trans-membrane proteins or transporter proteins to move the ions or molecules down the concentration gradient.

While the transport of glucose in intestines take place via active transport mechanism. It takes place from gut into intestines. It occurs against the concentration gradient with the help of energy molecules like proteins.
