Which normal cell characteristic is represented by the production of insulin in the beta cells of the pancreas? select one: a. conservation of energy b. performance of a differentiated function c. ability to undergo apoptosis on schedule d. tight regulation of cell division

Insulin is produced by beta cells of the pancreas for storing and disposing of the glucose in various parts of the body like liver. This activity is a differentiated function of the beta cells of pancreas only. Although gene for insulin production is present in all cells, it is expressed only in the beta cells. Hence, it is a differentiated function.

The answer would be d. pili
