Six carbon atoms, twelve hydrogen atoms, six oxygen atoms, so twenty-four total atoms in one glucose molecule.
The standard insulin syringe is a total of 1 ml ( 1 cc), but if you are not sure ask someone who can tell you. Too much insulin can be fatal.
extract the insulin from the bacterial culture
two elements, carbon and oxygen
One.
Most cell membranes are NOT permeable to sugar unless insulin opens a channel.

Insulin is a peptide hormone composed of two polypeptide chains, A and B, linked by disulfide bonds. It is synthesized in the pancreas's beta cells and plays a crucial role in regulating glucose metabolism by facilitating the uptake of glucose into cells. Insulin also influences fat and protein metabolism, promoting the storage of nutrients and inhibiting their breakdown. Key elements of insulin include its structure, function in glucose homeostasis, and its role in metabolic processes.
Answer1 unit insulin = 45.5 micro-gram pure crystalline insulin. This cannot be compared to strength of insulin solution.
The word insulin has three syllables. (in-su-lin)
The coding sequence for insulin consists of 110 amino acids.
It depends on what kind of insulin you are taking....for example: insulin can be rapid acting, short acting, intermediate acting or long acting.
Insulin is typically measured in units rather than volume. In the context of U-100 insulin, which is the most common concentration, there are 100 units of insulin per 1 mL (or 1 cc). Therefore, 1 cc of U-100 insulin contains 100 units of insulin. Different concentrations of insulin may have different unit-to-volume ratios.
No. Diabetes is not cured by using insulin injections. You are giving yourself insulin injections because your body cannot produce enough insulin itself; therefore, if you were not to take the insulin injections you would have further detrimental complications. Once your body stops making insulin, it never "starts" making it again.

Insulin contains three disulfide bonds. These bonds stabilize the protein structure of insulin, which is crucial for its biological activity in regulating blood sugar levels.
1 cc=100 units of Insulin so, 1 unit=0.01 cc Insulin
The gene for insulin can be inserted into the bacterial chromosome. The bacteria is then left to multiply normally, which thus produces many copies of the gene and lots of insulin. This is how they produce the insulin used by people who have diabetes.
