Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Steroid hormones, such as testosterone, estrogen, and cortisol, are derived from cholesterol and are lipid-soluble. Peptide hormones (B), amine hormones (C), and proteins (E) are not derived from cholesterol and are typically water-soluble. Second messengers (D) are not hormones themselves, but rather are molecules that transmit signals inside cells after hormones bind to receptors on the cell surface.
