Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The given hormone is whether a natural steroid hormone or a synthetic steroid hormone has to predicted.
Concept introduction: The ductless gland that has a messenger function produce a biochemical substance, called hormones. The hormone which is a derivative of cholesterol is called steroid hormones.
The hormones which replicate the functions of natural steroid hormones are called synthetic steroid hormones. For example, oral contraceptives and anabolic steroids.
The hormones which are naturally present in the body are called natural steroid hormones. For example testosterone, estradiol.

- Show the mechanism steps to obtain the lowerenergy intermediate: *see imagearrow_forwardSoap is made by the previous reaction *see image. The main difference between one soap and another soap isthe length (number of carbons) of the carboxylic acid. However, if a soap irritates your skin, they mostlikely used too much lye.Detergents have the same chemical structure as soaps except for the functional group. Detergentshave sulfate (R-SO4H) and phosphate (R-PO4H2) functional groups. Draw the above carboxylic acidcarbon chain but as the two variants of detergents. *see imagearrow_forwardWhat are the reactions or reagents used? *see imagearrow_forward
