Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: Whether aldosterone is a naturally occurring steroid hormone or a synthetic analog of such has to be predicted.
Concept introduction: The families of lipids that have messenger functions are called steroid hormones. It is basically a hormone that is a cholesterol derivative. There are two classes of steroid hormones, sex hormones and adrenocorticoid hormones.
(b)
Interpretation: Whether cortisone is a naturally occurring steroid hormone or a synthetic analog of such has to be predicted.
Concept introduction: The families of lipids that have messenger functions are called steroid hormones. It is basically a hormone that is a cholesterol derivative. There are two classes of steroid hormones, sex hormones and adrenocorticoid hormones.
(c)
Interpretation: Whether estradiol is a naturally occurring steroid hormone or a synthetic analog of such has to be predicted.
Concept introduction: The families of lipids that have messenger functions are called steroid hormones. It is basically a hormone that is a cholesterol derivative. There are two classes of steroid hormones, sex hormones and adrenocorticoid hormones.
(d)
Interpretation: Whether norethynodrel is a naturally occurring steroid hormone or a synthetic analog of such has to be predicted.
Concept introduction: The families of lipids that have messenger functions are called steroid hormones. It is basically a hormone that is a cholesterol derivative. There are two classes of steroid hormones, sex hormones and adrenocorticoid hormones.
