Updated On: Dec 4, 2024
- Cortisol
- Testosterone
- Progesterone
- Glucagon
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
- Testosterone, Progesterone, and Cortisol are steroid hormones. They are derived from cholesterol and are lipophilic, allowing them to cross cell membranes easily.
- Glucagon, however, is a peptide hormone, not a steroid hormone. It is synthesized from 102 amino acids and works by binding to receptors on the cell surface.
Thus, the correct answer is (3).

Questions Asked in NEET exam
- Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A : The potential (V) at any axial point, at 2 m distance(r) from the centre of the dipole of dipole moment vector \(\vec{P}\) of magnitude, 4 × 10-6 C m, is ± 9 × 103 V.
(Take \(\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}=9\times10^9\) SI units)
Reason R : \(V=±\frac{2P}{4\pi \epsilon_0r^2}\), where r is the distance of any axial point, situated at 2 m from the centre of the dipole.
