Expert Solution

Hormones are chemical messengers that enables the communication between cells. Hormones are secreted by the glands of the endocrine system.Hormones can be mainly classified in to two:a)Lipid soluble hormones,b)Water soluble hormones.

Water-soluble hormones are amines and proteins that do not passively diffuse through the cell membrane. For water-soluble proteins, the receptor will be at the plasma membrane of the cell. The ligand-bound receptor will trigger a cascade of secondary messengers inside the cell.

For lipid-soluble hormones, the receptor is typically located within the cytoplasm or nucleus of the cell.

Therefore from the given characteristics,the first one ie '"Hormone has a cell membrane receptor" indicate that it is a protein hormone
