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.
