Before the advent of genetic engineering methods of producing Insulin, the hormone was directly isolated from Cows and Pigs. There was no other option of obtaining these hormones. Once they were isolates from these animals, the went through a crude purification process before being bottled.

How does the early method of producing Insulin being made?
early method of getting insulin was from the pancreas of slaughtered cattle[mostly pigs]... However now a days it is prepared by the use of biotechnology. insulin consists of two strands of peptide chains [A and B].. the DNA coding for peptide chain A and chain B were extracted and then were inserted in bacteria E.coli.... this bateria then replicates and forms multiple amount of chain A and B which are then extracted and joined by disulphide bonds.... this forms insulin.
How is insulin produced?
Diabetic's bodies lack the ability to produce insulin, the medical world has had to come up with other sources of insulin for diabetics to use. The early method for producing insulin (which is still used to a lesser extent today) was to source it from animals, particularly pigs and cows (pigs physiology is quite similar to humans.. surprisingly). Nowdays, scientists are much more likely to use genetic engineering to produce human insulin in ecoli bacteria. The e.coli's circular chromosome is cut using 'DNA scissors' resulting in unpaired base's (known as sticky ends) matching those of the insulin gene which is then inserted. Because e.coli produce a new generation every 20 minutes on average, it doesnt take long for the gene to be replicated over and over. The e.coli is then removed, and we are left with a supply of human insulin.
Why did early anatomists choose the term conchae to describe these structures?
due to its shape, which resembles a shell
List and describe three usesof rDNA in biotechnology?
1. The production of recombinant proteins is the biggest advancement of rDNA. fro instance the production of insulin and human growth hormone...etcIn early times the insulin was produced by pig and calf pancreas and only the little amount was obtained and many animals were slaughtered frequently. but the rDNA technology proved to be boon.2. For curing genetic diseases like haemophilia, thalessmia, phenylketoneria.3. Improving the original function of the gene and manipulating it or overexpressing it for better results. for instance- making a plasmid antibiotic resistance.

They have money

How can insulin resistance be prevented?
Genetic factors contributing to insulin resistance cannot be changed as of the early 2000s.
What causes lack of insulin in early age for ladies?
pregnancy
What were the methods of trading in the early civilization?
barter economy

the early military post help on all products that they are were producing!

How did insulin affect the world?
Insulin was first injected into a patient with diabetes in the early 1920s. Before then, if one's diabetes could not be regulated, that person would almost always die. After the mass production of insulin, people could manage their diabetes, and it was not a death sentence, as it had once been.
Describe segregation in the early 1900?
i have no clue
Why the Nazis' early methods of eliminating Soviet Jews were considered wasteful and time consuming?
This is a phrase used in some school books to describe the individual executions, rather than the mass murder that the Holocaust would become.
What is characteristic of the onset of insulin resistance?
In its early stages, the condition is asymptomatic, but may develop into Type II Diabetes.
When you are diabetic and on insulin what can you do to bring down you glucose level aside from giving yourself an insulin shot?
No you cant. Doctors are currently trying to find a way but the shot has been around since the early 1920's.
