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?
What is TEMPERATURE? A measure of whether two systems are relatively hot or cold with respect to one another. Two systems brought into contact will, after sufficient time, be in thermal equilibrium and will have the same temperature. A thermometer using a temperature scale established with respect to an arbitrary zero eg Celsius scale or to absolute zero Kelvin thermodynamic scale of temperature is required to establish the relative temperatures of two systems.
