Not to be confused with Inulin. Insulin (from the Latin, insula meaning island) is a peptide hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreatic islets. It regulates the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and protein by promoting the absorption of, especially, glucose from the blood into fat, liver and skeletal muscle cells.
In the metric system, temperature is measured in degrees Celsius. The metric system is used in most countries throughout the world, the most notable exception being â¦ the United States. Give an example of when you might measure the temperature uring the metric system?
DEFINITION: (For this website usage): Temperature: A measure proportional to the average translational kinetic energy associated with the disordered microscopic motion of atoms and molecules. The flow of heat is from a high temperature region toward a lower temperature region. About Temperature Disponible en espanol. 2  Temperature, when measured in Kelvin degrees, is a number that is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance. 3  So, when the molecules of a substance have a small average kinetic energy, then the temperature of the substance is low.
