Describe how you could produce yeast cells that make human growth hormone?

You take the gene that encodes HGH and put it into a plasmid that has a strong yeast promoter. You transform the yeast and select using a nutrient marker like Lucine or uracil. Make sure the plasmid has a 3' UTR from a yeast gene so that transcription stops efficiently.
I'm not sure if the yeast would secrete HGH or even if it would get made/modified correctly but that's how you'd do it.

Which hormone specifically targets cells that produce hormones that affect glucose metabolism?
Insulin is the hormone that specifically targets cells that produce hormones affecting glucose metabolism. It is produced by the pancreas and regulates the uptake, utilization, and storage of glucose by cells in the body. Insulin helps to lower blood glucose levels by promoting the absorption of glucose from the blood into cells.
What four cell populations make up the endocrine pancreas Which hormone does each type of cell produce?
(1) alpha cells: glucagon; (2) beta cells: insulin; (3) delta cells: growth hormone-inhibiting hormone (GH-IH, or somatostatin); and (4) F cells: pancreatic polypeptide
What hormones has more target cells in the body than any of the others Antidiuretic hormone corticotropin releasing hormone growth hormone or oxytocin?
growth hormone
What hormone deals with fat catabolism by the cells?
The growth hormone deals with fat catabolism by the cells. The growth hormone is secreted by the anterior pituitary in the endocrine system.
Is the manipulation of the DNA of cells to change hereditary traits or produce biological products?
Since biological products, such as human insulin or human growth hormone, are hereditary traits, the manipulation of DNA is performed in order to change hereditary traits, which results in a change in the production of biological products. For example, bacteria do not ordinarily produce human insulin or human growth hormone as hereditary traits. However, manipulating their genome so that they carry human insulin genes or human growth hormone genes is done to change their hereditary traits, such as changes in their production of biological products, so that the bacteria now produce human insulin and human growth hormone.
An excess of growth hormone in an adult results in?
Giagantism: An overabundance of growth hormone during childhood leads to giagantism. It is a very rare condition that may results from a tumor of the cells that produce growth hormone.
Why growth hormone deficiency causes hYpoglycemia?
Growth hormone and insulin are both needed to uptake amino acids into cells. In GH deficiency cells produce more insulin receptors and become more sensitive to insulin. This causes increased uptake of glucose into cells.
The hormone that stimulates an increase in the size and the number of cells is?
Human Growth Hormone!
Which hormone causes cells to divide and increase in size?
growth hormone
Which hormone causes the cells in bones and muscles to lengthen?
It is the growth hormone. It is secreted by anterior pituitary.

Insulin is the hormone that specifically targets cells that produce hormones affecting glucose metabolism. It is produced by the pancreas and regulates the uptake, utilization, and storage of glucose by cells in the body.

growth hormone
8 The hormone that stimulates an increase in the size and the number of cells is?
growth hormone
Does the anterior pituitary secrete growth hormone?
Yes, the anterior pituitary secretes growth hormone. It's made by the acidophilic cells.
Which hormone has more target cells in the body than any of the others?
growth hormone GH
What does growth hormones do?
Growth hormone is produced and released in the body, allowing for the hormone to interact with a number of other cells and organs in the body. It stimulates cell reproduction and general growth.
