Type 1 Diabetic here! I can help!! so basically the receptor for insulin is a large protein that binds to insulin and passes its message into the cell. It has several functional parts. Two copies of the protein chains come together on the outside of the cell to form the receptor site that binds to insulin.

I hope this helped :)

What happens during G0?

Ket [755]

The cell goes in a "dormant phase". A good example is the neuron. Neurons are very metabolically active but they don't divide so they go into a phase that doesn't include growth or replication of genetic material.

Why don’t antibiotics work on viruses in your own words

Paha777 [63]

Viruses are non-living when they are suspended without a host body. As soon as they enter a host body, they become living. This nature makes it hard to classify viruses as non-living or living. Thus, antibiotics don't work on viruses.

Hope this helps :)
