Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: Whether cortisol 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.
