Insulin is not an organism. It is not alive.
Insulin is a protein hormone that is active within our bodies. It is secreted by our pancreas after meals when our blood sugar levels are high and tells the cells in our body to take glucose from the blood and store it as glycogen.

What kind of organism produces insulin?

What kind of organism is to produce human insulin?
*A+*bacteria
What kind of organism is used to produce human insulin?
*A+*bacteria
How is insulin produced through genetic engineering?
Insulin is produced through genetic engineering by inserting the human insulin gene into a host organism, such as bacteria or yeast. The host organism then produces insulin that is identical to human insulin. This process allows for the mass production of insulin for medical use.
Is production of human insulin transgenic organism?
Yes, human insulin can be produced through genetically engineered organisms, such as transgenic bacteria or yeast. These organisms are modified to express the human insulin gene, allowing them to produce insulin that is identical to the insulin produced by humans.
What kind of organism is used to produce human insullen?
The organism commonly used to produce human insulin is bacteria, specifically Escherichia coli (E. coli) or the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. These organisms are genetically engineered to produce and secrete human insulin, which is then harvested and purified for use in treating diabetes.
What kind of compound is insulin?
polymer
What is an example of a transgenic organisms?
A transgenic organisms has one or more genes from another organism inserted into its genome.Transgenic bacteria with the gene for human insulin make human insulin that is used to treat people with Diabetes.
What kind of disease do insulin treat?
Diabetes
What kind of organisms produce human insulin?
Bacteria
What is the definition of exogenous?
Exogenous is the use of something from outside the organism - such as insulin. A link with a longer definition is below.
What kind of macromolecule is insulin and what does it do?
A protein with sidegroup carbohydrate "decorations".
