24) Large molecules have very specific functions, specifically in the body. This particular molecule
helps to maintain glucose levels in the blood and is released from the pancreas. What is this
organic molecule?
A)
starch
B)
hemoglobin
C)
steroids
D)
insulin

D) Insulin

Explanation:

Insulin is an organic molecule, specifically a protein molecule, which is produced by the pancreas. It is an enzyme that regulates the level of glucose in the blood. Insulin carries out this function by converting excess glucose in the blood into a stored form called GLYCOGEN.

The glycogen, which is stored in the liver, is converted back to glucose when the need arises for glucose in the blood. Hence, INSULIN is that large organic molecule (protein) that helps to maintain glucose levels in the blood and is released from the pancreas.

im gonna compare the cells to jobs in factory. give brainliest

job in the factory //       cell organelle   //  

shipping/receiving

department                 plasma membrane    

chief executive officer// nucleus

factory floor // cytoplasm

assembly line// endoplasmic reticulum

workers in the assembly line //ribosomes

finishing/packaging department //golgi apparatus

maintenance crew //lysosomes

support beams (walls, ceilings, floors) //cytoskeleton

power plant //mitochondria/chloroplasts

here's what each part of the cell does:

plasma membrane :

regulates what enters and leaves the cell; where cell makes contact with the external environment

nucleus :

controls all cell activity; determines what proteins will be made

cytoplasm :

contains the organelles; site of most cell activity

endoplasmic reticulum:

where ribosomes do their work

ribosomes :

build the proteins

golgi apparatus :

prepares proteins for use or export

lysosomes :

responsible for breaking down and absorbing materials taken in by the cell

cytoskeleton :

maintains cell shape

mitochondria/chloroplasts :

transforms one form of energy into another
