Vedclass · Answer

(D) Hormones are chemical messengers secreted by endocrine glands directly into the bloodstream,which transports them to target organs.They regulate,induce,or inhibit various biochemical processes.Once their function is completed,they are metabolized or degraded and are not available again.Chemically,hormones are not exclusively proteins; they can be classified into four main categories: $1.$ Protein and polypeptide hormones (e.g.,insulin),$2.$ Steroid hormones (e.g.,cortisol),$3.$ Monoamines (e.g.,adrenaline),and $4.$ Lipid-based hormones (e.g.,prostaglandins).Therefore,the statement that every human hormone is always chemically a protein is incorrect.
