How can you tell epinephrine is a peptide hormone and not a steroid one by looking at the picture?

The epinephrine signaling pathway plays a role in regulating glucose homeostasis in muscle cells. The signaling
pathway is activated by the binding of epinephrine to the beta-2 adrenergic receptor. A simplified model of the
epinephrine signaling pathway is represented in Figure 1.
