Answer 1

Answer

1. Derived from cholesterol --- (L) lipid-soluble hormones
   
   
2. Organic compounds --- (B) both types
   
   
3. Insoluble in water --- (L) lipid-soluble hormones
   
   
4. Insoluble in lipids --- (W) water-soluble hormones
   
   
5. Unable to pass through the plasma membrane to enter target cell --- (W) water-soluble hormones

- All the hormone are organic compounds.
- There are two types of hormones :

• Lipid soluble : Made up of cholesterol. They can easily cross plasma membrane.
• Water soluble : They are made up of proteins or amino acids. They cannot cross the plasma membrane as it is made up of phospholipids.
