Vedclass · Answer

(B) Chemically,hormones are diverse molecules. They can be classified into three main categories based on their chemical structure:$1$. Peptide,polypeptide,and protein hormones (e.g.,insulin,glucagon,pituitary hormones).$2$. Steroid hormones (e.g.,cortisol,testosterone,estrogen,progesterone).$3$. Iodothyronines (thyroid hormones) and amino acid derivatives (e.g.,epinephrine,norepinephrine,which are biogenic amines).Therefore,hormones are composed of proteins,steroids,and biogenic amines.
