  • A Amino acid derivatives hormone ✔ ✖
  • B Peptide hormones ✔ ✖
  • C Proteinaeous hormone ✔ ✖
  • D Steroid hormones ✔ ✖
Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation

Steroid hormones are derived from cholesterol and are soluble in lipids due to their structure. They easily diffuse through the cell membrane and enter the nucleus of the cell to regulate gene expression. Examples of steroid hormones include testosterone, estrogen, and cortisol. Peptide hormones, on the other hand, are composed of amino acids and are not lipid soluble. They bind to receptors on the surface of the cell membrane and activate second messenger pathways to produce their effects.
