In a lactating mammal, the two hormones that promote milk synthesis and milk release, respectively, are prolactin and oxytocin.

Prolactin is necessary for milk synthesis to occur. Ther are prolactin receptors on the walls of the lactocytes (milk-producing cells of the alveoli) which allows prolactin to stimulate the synthesis of breastmilk components. <span>Oxytocin (after birth) induce contractions of the smooth muscles that surround the alveoli. As a result, the produced milk is squeezed into the duct system. Oxytocin is necessary for the milk ejection reflex in response to suckling.</span>

In the cell, energy that drives endergonic reactions is often obtained from
IRISSAK [1]

Answer: B) energy released from exergonic reactions.  

Explanation:

Cell metabolism is the set of reactions that occur in the cellular environment to synthesize or degrade biomolecules to produce energy. Synthesis metabolism of biomolecules is known as anabolic (anabolism) and catabolic degradation (catabolism).

Endergonic reaction (product has more energy than reagents) and requires energy to occur. Anabolism occurs when the cell has sufficient energy or substrate. Catabolism, in turn, occurs in situations in which the body needs energy, such as between meals and fasting.

The reactions of anabolism and catabolism are opposite but occur in an articulated manner, allowing the maximization of available energy. Thus, while catabolism occurs spontaneously, an exergonic reaction with ATP production, anabolism is non-spontaneous, or endergonic, requiring energy to occur. In other words energy that drives endergonic reactions is often obtained from B) energy released from exergonic reactions.
