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.

Which of the following is NOT evidence supporting the endosymbiotic theory?
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

The correct answer is D) the vacuoles can "come and go" across the plasma membrane.

Explanation:

The endosymbiotic theory exposes that mitochondria and chloroplasts were "swallowed" several years ago by a prokaryotic cell, that then became eukaryotic. These two organelles were originally two living and independent organisms, that's why the have their own DNA and also divide splitting. Anyway, the endosymbiotic theory does not explain anything about vacuoles and also, the sentence is not true. No organelle can come and go across the membrane, it's impossible for an organelle to break such barrier.
