What else can I help you with?
One of the first breakthroughs in biotechnology was the discovery of the gene that makes insulin. What was the fist step of this process?
The first step in the process of discovering the gene that makes insulin involved isolating the insulin-producing cells from the pancreas of animals, such as pigs or cows. Researchers then focused on understanding the structure of insulin and how it was synthesized in these cells. This foundational work led to the identification of the insulin gene, which could then be cloned and studied further, ultimately paving the way for the production of synthetic insulin through recombinant DNA technology.
What hormone is required for the normal use of glucose in the body?
Insulin is the hormone that allows cells to take up glucose. Insulin is synthesised and released from the beta cells in the islets of langerhans of the pancreas. Its release is stimulated by high blood glucose levels.
How can insulin be produced?
One way insulin can be produced is by injecting genetically engineered bacteria into your bloodstream. The insulin will multiply and each one will produce insulin. This is only helpful in fighting on kind of diabetes.
Do antibiotics work on eukaryotic cells, and if so, how do they affect them differently than prokaryotic cells?
Antibiotics do not work on eukaryotic cells because they target specific structures or processes unique to prokaryotic cells, such as cell wall synthesis or protein synthesis. Eukaryotic cells have different structures and processes, so antibiotics do not affect them in the same way.
LS26 Describe ways in which substances work by altering the way cell function eg insulin?
your moma
How does alcohol increase insulin sensitivity?
Alcohol can increase insulin sensitivity because it can affect the way that the pancreas works. Over time, too much alcohol can keep the pancreas from working at all, leading to diabetes.
Do chemicals in oral contraceptives change the way the body metabolizes some nutrients. true or false?
The progestins may affect insulin effects, and some of the estrogens may affect lipid metabolism.
How does insulin transport glucose into cells?
Insulin is secreted via the pancreas when blood sugar is above normal, such as after eating a candy bar. The glucose from that candy bar needs to enter your cells to be stored for later. Think of insulin as the key for opening the door to the cell to let glucose in, without it, you couldn't use the energy from food, which is called diabetes. This is a way simplified version of what actually goes on in this cellular response but I hope it helped!
Can helium gas affect you in some way?
yes it kills lung cells
Which nutrient works closely with insulin to help the cells take up glucose?
Chromium is a nutrient that works closely with insulin to help the cells take up glucose more effectively. It enhances the action of insulin, promoting blood sugar regulation and overall metabolic health.
How is a computer affect the way people work?
it offered speed and convenience to work....
What is the principle function of the hormone insulin?
Insulin controls the sugars in your body.Insulin is a hormone secreted by the beta cells of pancreas which regulates glucose levels (an increase in insulin lowers blood glucose). The pancreas senses the level of glucose in blood and secretes the amount of insulin accordingly.
