Are we supposed to be able to classify hormones as peptide, steroid, or amino-acid derivatives? if so, does anyone have a list or a good strategy for remembering/figuring out the classification?
so there's no neat trick to figure out if something is a peptide hormone or steroid, such as "-one" ending = steroid (e.g. testosterone aldosterone, ketone [jk on this one ])
now that you've mentioned it, it at least works with identifying some steroid hormones... progesterone is another steroid hormone. but obviously not all of them have -one endings.
