Best Answer

hydrophilic "water loving" Hormones

2 groups-

-Peptides (short protein)- such as insulin

- Catecholamines: hormones epinephrine and noreepinephrine

Low lipid solubility, High water solubility

Lipophilic "Fat Loving" Hormones

2 Groups

- Thyroid hormones

- Steroid Hormones --> sex hormones such as testosterone

High lipid solubitilty, poorly soluble in water

Cholesterol precusor (molecule is not a hormone)

What kind of bonds join the amino acids in a polypeptide chain?

Well! Polypeptides are chain of amino-acids better known as proteins. Those amino-acids are join together by peptide bonds.

What non-covalent bond holds amino acids together?

Peptide bonds hold adjacent amino acids together. Peptide bonds are covalent. But the bonds that dictate the secondary, tertiary, and Quaternary structure of the resulting protein are generally hydrogen bonds, van der Walls interations, and hydrophobic interactions.
