GH:.a) is secreted by the posterior pituitary and binds to a plasma protein. b) is secreted by the posterior pituitary. binds to a plasma protein. c) is secreted by the anterior pituitary. d) is secreted by the anterior pituitary and binds to a plasma protein.

d) Growth Hormone is secreted by the anterior pituitary and binds to a plasma protein.

Explanation:

Growth hormone (GH) exerts many of its effects on growth and metabolism by stimulating the production and release of polypeptide growth factors called somatomedins from the liver, cartilage, and other tissues. In humans, the principal circu- lating somatomedins are insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I, somatomedin C) and IGF-II. GH release is stimulated by growth hormone-releasing hor- mone (GHRH) and ghrelin and inhibited by somatostatin. All of these pep- tides are synthesized and released by the hypothalamus, though the main site of ghrelin synthesis and secretion is the stomach. GH increases lipoly- sis; the resultant increase in free fatty acids, which takes several hours to develop, provides a ready source of energy for the tissues during hypo- glycemia, fasting, and stressful stimuli. GH also has a protein anabolic effect. GH is metabolized rapidly; the half-life of circulating GH in humans is 6 to 20 minutes

hello again!

a is your answer!

the correct answer is individualism and exchange. at this stage, children begin to question the rules, because they can see that there is more than one side to them. different individuals have different viewpoints. they won't be able to reach this stage because of ignorance, a lack of ethics or personal biases. that is because people with that characteristiscs are not able to distinguish what is good or what is bad and they can't pursue their individual interests.
