Enter your answer in the provided box. Insulin is a polypeptide hormone released from the pancreas that stimulates fat and muscle to take up glucose. In a certain patient, it has a first-order half-life in the blood of 4.2 min. To maintain an adequate blood concentration of insulin, it must be replenished in a time interval equal to 1/k. How long is the time interval in this patient? min
