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.

juin [17]

The correct answer is C) the fluorescent cells can help track the movement of cells.

Explanation:

In the last years, geneticists and scientists created animals that glow in the dark by inserting a Green Fluorescent Protein or GFP gene found in some species of jellyfish. This protein was used in animals such as rabbits, rats, and even chickens. One of the key reasons for this is that by inserting fluorescence scientists can better observe the development and movement of cells. This includes analyzing cells reproduction and growing in embryos of "glowing" animals or inserting the protein in specific cells or organs in an organism to observe how these change or move. Thus, the purpose of studying fluorescent rabbits is that "the fluorescent cells can help track the movement of cells".
