Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The activities regulated by hormones with short life and long life.

Introduction:

The steroid hormones are derived from cholesterol and are hydrophobic but lipophilic in nature. Therefore, they can easily be transported inside the cell without the aid of carrier proteins. The peptide hormones are the molecules that are formed from the array of amino acids and are hydrophilic in nature. Therefore, they require carrier molecules to be transported inside the cell.
