Question 5 of 5
Most hormones belong to what chemical classes?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Most hormones are peptides (e.g., insulin, ACTH) or steroids (e.g., cortisol, estrogen), derived from amino acids or cholesterol, respectively dominant classes. Amines (e.g., epinephrine) exist but are fewer, not paired with sodium (an ion). Glucose isn't a hormone class metabolic substrate. Sodium isn't hormonal electrolyte. Peptides and steroids distinguish endocrine diversity, key to their synthesis and action, unlike minor or non-hormonal pairs.
