The false statement is: Growth hormone is produced by the posterior pituitary

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). Also, growth hormone stimulates production of IGF-1 and increases the levels of glucose and free fatty acids.

enyata [817]

Answer:

D. The statement is inaccurate because humans would not be able to distribute the product of nitrogen fixation from industrial processes in the same way that bacteria are able to distribute it globally now.

Explanation:

Nitrogen fixing bacteria has the responsibility in nature to trap and fix atmospheric nitrogen in ecosystems. They are very important components of the nitrogen cycle and play an important role in maintaining the balance  of nutrients in nature.

If humans discover industrial processes to fix nitrogen, the process will be unsustainable in the long run if nitrogen-fixing bacteria ever go extinct because humans would not be able to distribute the product of nitrogen fixation from industrial processes in the same way that bacteria are able to distribute it globally now across several ecosystems all over the world.
