Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: A) Steroid hormones are derived from cholesterol and can pass right into a cell to have effects is the TRUE statement.
Detailed explanation-2: -Steroid hormones (SHs) are lipophilic molecules derived from cholesterol and synthesized in the adrenal cortex (glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, and adrenal androgens), the testes (testicular androgens, oestrogen), and the ovary and placenta (oestrogens and progestagens or progestins).
Detailed explanation-3: -Therefore the steroid hormones and peptide hormones have receptors on the cell membrane to which they bind to and exert their action on the target cell. The negative feedback mechanism is the one in which the product inhibits the formation of it.
