I am not sure if this question is worded correctly. Should it be "do lipids function as hormones?" Cholesterol is the basis for forming both male and female sex hormones. Testosterone in males and Estrogen and Progesterone in females.

What kind of endoplasmic reticulum makes lipids and breaks down harmful materials?
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum makes lipids and steroid hormones.
Where are lipids and steroid hormones synthesized?
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is the main site for the synthesis of fatty acids, steroids, and lipids. Phospholipids for the cell membrane are produced here, and cholesterol is modified into steroid hormones, such as the sex hormones estrogen and testosterone.
What is the difference between amine and peptide hormones?
The difference between amine and peptide hormones are:Amine hormones are from amino acids. Peptide Hormones are peptide bonds between multiple amino acids.
What types of food contain lipids?
Lipids are organic compounds that are insouluble in water and includes fats, oils, and waxes. Lipids are used to make cell membranes and steroid hormones and to store energy.
Steroid hormones enter the bloodstream by diffusion and?
Steroid Hormones only enter the bloodstream by diffusion. If you are a student taking anatomy/phyiso 2 and refering to this question: All steroid hormones are derived from (cholesterol). Which steroid hormone is produced is determined by the (enzymes) present in the cell. The common precursor molecule for all steroid hormones is (pregnenolone). Steroid hormones enter the blood stream by (diffusion) and (do) require a carrier. The rate of secretion of steroid hormones is (slower) then catecholemines because steroid hormones are not (stored). Hope that helps-
What are steroid hormones made from?
Steroids are lipids that include complex rings of carbon and hydrogen atoms. All steroid hormones are derived from cholesterol.
What kind of molecules are steriod hormones made of?
Steroid hormones are composed of lipids.
What class of lipids does estrogen belong to?
They are not proteins .They are steroid hormones.
Is cortisol a carbohydrate hormone?
No there are no carbohydrate hormones. It is a steroid
Steroid hormones don't need binding receptors why?
Steroid hormones are lipids so are able to diffuse through the membrane without receptors.
What produces steroid hormones and glucoticoids?
adrenal glands
What secretes glucocorticoids and mineralocoricoids?
Some of the steroid hormones are produced by the adrenal cortex. Steroid hormones are soluble in lipids. Steroid hormones travel in the blood attached to the carrier proteins.
Class of lipids which includes cholesterol and sex hormones?
steroids... The steroids are a group of lipids with no fatty acids. This group includes cholesterol, Bile Salts, and steroid hormones (which includes sex hormones).
What are steroid hormones soluble in?
Lipids (fat-soluble), they can therefore be administered orally.
What are hormones made from cholesterol called?
Steroid Hormones
What is the difference between receptors for steroid hormones and Peptide hormone?
Peptide based hormones exert their effects on a cell by way of second messengers (cAMP or PIP) pathways. Steroid based hormones exert their effects on a target cell via direct gene activation.
What kind of endoplasmic reticulum makes lipids and breaks down harmful materials?
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum makes lipids and steroid hormones.
