Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hormones are organic compounds that are secreted by the endocrine glands into the bloodstream and regulate various physiological processes in the body. While some hormones are derived from amino acids and are protein-like in nature (such as insulin and growth hormone), others are derived from cholesterol and are steroid-like in nature (such as testosterone and estrogen). Therefore, not all hormones are steroids or proteins, making option A and B incorrect. Inorganic compounds, such as salts and minerals, do not have the complex molecular structure required to be hormones, making option C incorrect.
