Growth hormone (GH) or somatotropin is produced in the cells called somatotrophs of the anterior pituitary gland. GH is a peptide hormone that stimulates growth, cell reproduction, and cell regeneration. Its function is involved in metabolic processes (favors anabolism or synthesis of macromolecules).

Explanation:

Polymerization can be defined as a type of chemical reaction in which molecules that are relatively small in size chemically combine to form a huge chain of molecules.

In polymerization, the relatively small molecules are generally referred to as monomers while the larger molecules they produce are known as polymers.

Butanol was used in the production of synthetic (artificial) rubber through a fermentation process.
