Solution
The correct option is D Steroid and protein
We have two types of hormones. Steroid hormones and protein hormones
A steroid hormone is a steroid that acts as a hormone. They typically act by affecting gene expression while water-soluble hormones usually act by causing changes in biological processes in the cytoplasm of cells.
Unlike steroid hormones, which can cross through a cell's membrane and enter the cell, peptide hormones can't pass through the membrane but bind to receptors on the outside of cells, which triggers a response inside the cell.
