<span>If a person had only 1000 insulin receptors in each liver cell instead of the usual 90,000 or more, the person would not be able to take in or absorb the normal amount of insulin, store glucose as efficiently, or regulate blood sugar levels as efficiently.</span>

When the levels of glucose in the blood elevate, the beta cells in the pancreas discharge insulin that encourages uptake of glucose for storage and metabolism. This hormone is recognized by the insulin receptors found in the surface of the cell.  

If an individual is having 1000 insulin receptors, in each cell of the liver in spite of exhibiting the usual 90000 or more, then the individual would not possess the tendency to consume or absorb the usual amount of insulin, monitor the levels of sugar as effectively, or store glucose as effectively.

Some of the examples of cell organelles found within the cells of eukaryotes are endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, mitochondria, chloroplast, etc.  

All these organelles play an essential function for the proper functioning of the cell, like chloroplasts found in plants play an essential role in the process of photosynthesis, and mitochondria both in plants and animals are regarded as the powerhouse of the cell.
