Question

Match each of the following descriptions to the type of hormone it is associated with.

---Travel in the blood attached to a transport protein
---Exert their effects on target cells by binding to receptors in the plasma membrane

---Trigger the formation of second messengers, such as cAMP

--Don't enter cells in the liver or pass through the kidney filtering mechanism easily when bound, so remain circulating in the blood longer

----Include steroids
----Alter target cell activity by turning specific genes on/off, which leads to a change in protein synthesis

----Consist primarily of proteins or amino acid derivatives
