Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is a The GH receptor is expressed in many different cells whereas the receptor for ADH is expressed primarily in kidney select blood vessel cells.

Growth hormone helps in the growth and development of different kinds of cells and tissues of our body such as bone cell,liver cell,muscle cell etc.Whereas anti diuretic hormone act only on the corticle collecting ducts of the nephron to increase the permeability of the later to water.
