explain-where-insulin-is-stored-and-under-what-circumstances-it-is-released-a-it-is-stored-in-the-pa

Explain where insulin is stored and under what circumstances it is released. a. It is stored in the pancreas and is released as glucose increases in the blood to enhance the rate of glucose uptake. b. It is stored in the liver and is released as glucose increases in the blood to enhance the rate of glucose uptake. c. It is stored in the pancreas and is released as glucose levels decrease in blood to decrease the rate of glucose uptake. d. It is stored in the liver and is released as glucose levels decrease in the blood to decrease the rate of glucose uptake.

Insulin is a peptide produced by the pancreas that binds insulin receptors on target cells. Choose the best description of how insulin works. A. Insulin binding causes a conformational change in the receptor molecule, moving much insulin to the inside of the cell, where it binds molecules to influence gene expression. B. Insulin binding causes endocytosis of the insulin molecule, which binds molecules inside the cell to influence gene expression. C. Insulin binding activates cholesterol and other steroids, which bind molecules in the cell nucleus to influence gene expression. D. Insulin binding activates enzymes inside the cell and releases secondary messengers like cAMP, which influence gene expression.

00:01 Hello, everyone.
00:01 I hope all as well.
00:02 Today i'll be helping you with the 43 problem of the chapter 28 problem set.
00:06 And 43 is asking, where is insulin stored and when is it released? so we know that insulin, right? so we'll write it out.
00:13 So we have insulin.
00:15 So where does it come from? so the pancreas, right? so we had the pancreas and that creates insulin, correct? so now this answer is answered.
00:24 So it's stored in the pancreas, right? but the pancreas, right? but the pancreas, more specifically has alpha and then it has beta cells right and we know that insulin comes from beta cells specifically and that's talking specifics and not just saying that it comes from it just comes from the pancreas right and then we know that insulin helps during high levels of glucose blood so if there's so there's if there is a artery right and there's a lot of glucose insulin will be released for this glucose to be taken out and to be reabsorbed by the body so it's not as high.
01:01 So now let's go through all the answers and pick the best one, right? so we have a, it is stored in the pancreas, true.
01:07 And then it says it is released when glucose levels are increased in the blood to enhance the rate of glucose uptake, which is 100 % true...
