Expert Solution

Step 1

Most hormones can be classified as either amino acid–based hormones (amine, peptide, or protein) or steroid hormones.

Peptide hormones or protein hormones are hormones whose molecules are peptides or proteins, respectively.

A steroid hormone is a steroid that acts as a hormone. Steroid hormones can be grouped into two classes: corticosteroids (typically made in the adrenal cortex, hence cortico-) and sex steroids (typically made in the gonads or placenta).
