Question

The hormone insulin, which is produced by the cells of the pancreas, is released into the surrounding extracellular fluid by an energy-requiring process called _____.

Answer 1

Answer: Active transport

Explanation:

Active transport can be defined as the process by which the molecules are transported against the concentration gradient by the help of energy.

The hormones like insulin are also transported by this process so that the hormone can reach to the place where it is required.

This is an energy consuming process because of sizeof molecule and the opposite of the concentration gradient.
