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?
Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: Celsius is the unit for temperature in the metric system. The metric system is easier to use since everything is base 10. (ex. 10mm in 1cm, 100cm in 1m) Water freezes at 0C and boils at 100C. It's easy to remember, so most of the world (including Canada) uses that. The U.S. uses fahrenheit because we've been doing it for a long time and it would just be hard to change.
