Question

Insulin is a protein that is used by the body to regulate both carbohydrate and fat metabolism. A bottle contains 375 mL of insulin at a concentration of 40.0 mg/mL . What is the total mass of insulin in the bottle?

Answer 1

Total Mass of Insulin = Volume of Insulin × Concentration of Insulin
= 375 mL × 40.0 mg/mL
= 15000 mg
≈ 15 g of Insulin

Answer 2

Mass of insulin is 15,000mg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Insulin is the hormone that are released from the beta cells of pancreas that regulates the metabolism of glucose in the body. The improper balance of insulin can cause diabetes in the individuals.

The insulin mass can be calculated by the following formuls:

Mass = volume × density.

Mass = 375 × 40

Mass = 15,000 mg.

Thus, the answer is 15,000mg.
