Answer:

The correct answer is: A. The genes for insulin production are not activated in heart cells.

Explanation:

<u>DNA </u><u>is present in practically every cell in an organism</u>, but not every cell performs the same tasks as the rest. This happens because genes in the DNA   <u>code for different types of proteins</u>, from enzymes to transporters, that impact greatly on the <u>function</u> of a cell; and these genes can be activated or inactivated which will directly correlate to the type of cell and the function that it has.

<u>If the cells in the pancreas can produce insulin but the cells in the heart can't it's because the cells in the heart have the genes for insulin production inactivated</u>.

The amount of mitochondria and ribosomes does not directly affect the production of insulin.

JulsSmile [24]

Energy drinks tend to lack nutrients, and instead contain vitamins, minerals, and stimulants that interact with metabolic pathways to provide energy.

Metabolic pathways- A metabolic route is a series of activities or relationships between genes and associated byproducts that leads to the synthesis or modification of a system component that is necessary for a biological system to function properly.

Genes- The fundamental genetic component transferred from parent to child. Genes are composed of DNA sequences and are organized sequentially at specified sites on chromosomes inside the cell nucleus.

DNA- The molecule found inside cells that carries the genetic material necessary for an organism to grow and operate.
