The hormone insulin is a protein produced in the pancreas and then secreted into the blood stream after a meal to increase gluco

se uptake by tissues. What cellular process is used to secrete insulin from the pancreas?

Answer:

They are secreted from pancreatic cell through exocytosis.

Explanation:

Beta cells of the pancreas are responsible for the synthesis and release of insulin in the blood. Insulin is released in the blood when the blood glucose level reaches above the normal blood glucose level.  

Once the beta cells are insulated the insulin is released from the cell by the process of exocytosis and reaches to blood capillaries of islets. Insulin is made up of A and B chain when released in the blood but in proinsulin, a C chain is also present which is released in mature insulin.

Therefore exocytosis is responsible for releasing insulin from the Beta-cell of the pancreas.

.Enzymes chemical reactions.
Ket [755]

Answer:

Enzymes are very efficient catalysts for biochemical reactions. They speed up reactions by providing an alternative reaction pathway of lower activation energy. Like all catalysts, enzymes take part in the reaction - that is how they provide an alternative reaction pathway.

C

Photosynthesis is divided into light-phase and the dark-phase. The former occurs in the presence of sunlight while the latter is independent of sunlight.

Explanation:

The light-dependent phase begins the process of photosynthesis. The energy of the sun is used to split a water molecule into H+ and O- in a process called photolysis. IN the process, two high energy electrons are released and used to replace the ones that left the reaction system of the chlorophyll pigments. The electrons being replaced were conveyed through  a protein chain and their energy used to pump H+ ions into the thylakoid from the stroma. The electrons are ultimately used to reduce NADP+ into NADPH. This creates a proton motive force used by ATP synthase to create ATPs – a process called photophosphorylation.

IN the light-independent phase, carbon dioxide is reduced by NADPH to create glucose molecules in the Calvin cycle.
