Step 1: Explain that insulin is synthesised as a pro-hormone which contains an extra stretch called the C peptide.
Insulin→Pro-hormone+C peptide

Step 2: Compare the pro-hormone to a pro-enzyme, explaining that it needs to be processed before it becomes a fully mature and functional hormone.
Pro-hormoneProcessing​Mature hormone

Step 3: Emphasize that this processing step is necessary for insulin to function properly in the body.
