Insulin is a hormone released by the beta cells in your pancreas, when there is glucose (sugar) in your blood. Insulin goes through the blood stream and basically tells the cells of the body that there is glucose in the blood stream. and the cells respond to it by stopping glucagon breakdown, start making glucagon, taking up glucose into the cells with glucose transporters.
A hormone is a molecule that is released in one part of the body, but works in another.
What else can I help you with?
Are atoms and molecules a type of chemical?
No. Atoms and molecules are what make up all chemicals.
How many elements in insulin?
Six carbon atoms, twelve hydrogen atoms, six oxygen atoms, so twenty-four total atoms in one glucose molecule.
Type of energy that depends on how fast the molecules in a substance are moving?
Kinetic energy is the type of energy that depends on how fast the molecules in a substance are moving.
Type of bonding water molecules exhibit?
Within the molecule itself, water exhibits ionic bonding. Between the water molecules, there is hydrogen bonding.
What first steps did scientists take to produce transgenic bacteria that made insulin?
extract the insulin from the bacterial culture
What type of organic molecules is insulin made up of?
Protein
Is type 2 diabetes known as insulin-dependent diabetes?
No. Type 1 diabetes is known as insulin-dependent or juvenile onset diabetes. The causes of type 2 diabetes can either be a lack of insulin sensitivity or insulin production problem. Some people with type 2 diabetes take insulin, but it is not known as insulin-dependent diabetes.
insulin and glucagon are examples of what type of substance?
insulin and glucagon are examples of what type of substance
Does type 2 diabetes cause insulin deficiency or insulin resistance?
Insulin resistance is caused by obesity and a family history of insulin resistance. You can develop insulin resistance without these, but it's rare. Insulin resistance leads to type 2 diabetes. A type 1 diabetic can develop insulin resistance the same way anyone else does, but becoming obese and by having insulin resistance in the family. In this case, the insulin resistance and the type 1 diabetes are totally unrelated.
What hormone is imbalanced in type 2 diabetes?
Insulin is the hormone that is imbalanced in type 2 diabetes. In type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance results in the production of increased, but ineffective, insulin.
What type of insulin can be added to an iv solution?
Regular insulin is the type that can be added to an IV solution. It is the only type of insulin that can be given intravenously due to its rapid onset of action. Other types of insulin are not compatible for intravenous administration.
Which type of membrane protein attaches to specific hormones such as insulin?
The type of membrane protein that attaches to specific hormones such as insulin is a receptor protein. Receptor proteins are specialized proteins located on the cell membrane that recognize and bind to specific molecules such as hormones, triggering a cellular response. In the case of insulin, its receptor protein on the cell membrane binds to insulin, leading to cellular uptake of glucose and other metabolic responses.
What is the density of insulin?
Insulin is a type of hormone which is created by beta cells in the pancreas. Insulin is critical in the process of metabolism. The density of insulin is not listed.
How can you get the molar mass of insulin knowing just the grams of insulin in a sample and the number of molecules that that sample contains?
To find the molar mass of insulin, you first need to calculate the number of moles of insulin in the sample using the Avogadro's number and the number of molecules. Then, divide the grams of insulin by the number of moles to find the molar mass. The molar mass is expressed in grams per mole.
What disease does insulin help?
diabetes mellitus type 1(insulin controlled)
What is the treatment of both diabetes?
As there are two types of diabetes mellitus- Type I, the body's inability to produce insulin, & Type II, the body's resistance to insulin produced. In the case of Type I, injectable insulin is the only known treatment. For Type II, oral medications can be used on their own, in combination with other oral meds, or in combination with injectable insulin.
Type 1 diabetes is known as non-insulin dependent diabetes?
No, it used to be called insulin-dependent diabetes.
