Pangea. Alfred Wegener presented the idea that the continents was once a super large continent, otherwise known as Pangea, and over time broke and drifted apart into their present positions. It didn't brought out worldwide interests till late 1950s when scientists discovered magnetic particles responding to earth's magnetic field. And from then on, other evidence followed. It basically happened because of Wegener's theory of Pangea.

Growth Hormone and insulin are protein hormones that promotes the growth and regulation of substrate metabolism.

Explanation:

The Growth Hormone performs the metabolic actions in various tissues like liver, muscle, and pancreas through insulin growth factor. Insulin slows down the growth hormone signalling through the growth hormone receptor. It is important for maintaining the responsiveness of liver to growth hormone.

The insulin signalling pathway is very important in metabolic diseases like diabetes and aging. These insulin activates a phosphorylation cascade that branches to form a network affecting multiple biological processes.
