Objective 10: Identifying classes of Hormones

Not too much to discuss about this topic because there are only two classes of hormones and they are amino acid based and steroid hormones. I learned about this in BIO 100.  Hormones seems to be just about amino acid based except for the gonadal hormones.  Also if I am not mistaken the adrenal cortex produces some steroid hormones like aldosterone and cortisol.  To get a better understanding of steroid hormones I went to this website http://themedicalbiochemistrypage.org/steroid-hormones.html.  The pictures below gave a good understanding of how both deals with the plasma membrane.
