Question

diabetes is a disease where the body is unable to produce enough insulin in the pancreas to help lower the levels of blood glucose. insulin is a peptide hormone. which two organelles are most responsible for producing insulin in the pancreas? a nucleus and ribosome b nucleus and mitochondria c ribosome and mitochondria d golgi apparatus and lysosome

Explanation:

Insulin is a peptide hormone. Ribosomes are responsible for protein - peptide synthesis. Mitochondria provide energy for cellular processes including hormone production. The nucleus is mainly for storing genetic information and not directly involved in the synthesis and energy - supply for insulin production in the most immediate sense. Golgi apparatus modifies and packages proteins, and lysosomes are for waste breakdown. So ribosome and mitochondria are key for insulin production in the pancreas.

Answer:

C. ribosome and mitochondria
