What kind of cell is used to produce human insulin?
Human insulin is not manufactured. The insulin that humans use is derived from animals ie pig its not you can buy it from quicksave or netto
What metabolic process is stimulated by insulin?
Insulin is responsible for the absorption of glucose into a cell.
What is an ADSC?
An ADSC is an acronym for an adipose-derived stem cell or an adipose-derived stromal cell.
When exogenous DNA is used to make insulin which type of cell produces the insulin?
I like butter toast
How insulin signals a cell to take in glucose from the blood?
The insulin binds to insulin receptors on the surface of muscle or liver cells. This opens up little holes in the cell membrane called glucose transporters. Glucose flows through the glucose transporter due to the concentration gradient of glucose being higher in the extracellular environment. This is called diffusion. The membrane only stays permeable (open) to glucose so long as there is insulin bound to the receptors on the cell surface. Eventually the insulin is released and the glucose transporter closes. The cell then starts to digest the glucose via complicated processes called glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation.
WHAT hormone helps glucose move into the cell?
Insulin.

Which hormone deficiency causes diabetes?
Diabetes mellitus is caused by a lack of a hormone. This hormone is insulin. Insulin is required for the body's cells to take in glucose. Insulin helps transport glucose into the cell across the cell membrane. Glucose is what the cell uses to make energy to run itself.
What metabolic process is stimulated by insulin?
Insulin is responsible for the absorption of glucose into a cell.
Do cells produce insulin?
no, the pancreas produces insulin. It produces insulin to help the glucose go inside the cell.
What is kosher insulin?
There is kosher insulin that is derived from a plant. However, as insulin is injected and not consumed and because it is required to maintain the health and life of diabetics, porcine derived insulin is allowed. There is no religious requirement for "kosher" insulin as it is not a food and is not consumed.
'what organelle witnin cell is most affected by lack of insulin?
Insulin operates on those surface (membrane) proteins that transport sugar through the cell wall, not on organelles within the cell.
What is an ADSC?
An ADSC is an acronym for an adipose-derived stem cell or an adipose-derived stromal cell.
What does the beta cells of the pancreas produce?
The beta cells of the pancreas produce insulin and C-peptide, a byproduct of insulin. Source: Wikipedia

What is the process of making human insulin with bacteria?
Human insulin is made with bacteria through recombinant DNA. It introduces a copy of human insulin DNA to a host cell, which then produces human insulin.
