Answer:

Each type of hormone acts on a target cell in a different way. Steroid hormones are produced from a lipid called cholesterol. Nonsteroid hormones include proteins, small peptides, and modified amino acids. Because steroid hormones are lipids, they can easily cross cell membranes.

Protein hormones (or polypeptide hormones) are made of chains of amino acids. An example is ADH (antidiuretic hormone) which decreases blood pressure.

Steroid hormones are derived from lipids. Reproductive hormones like testosterone and estrogen are steroid hormones.
