Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Analyze the structure in C
The structure in C shows a complex folded structure, including alpha-helices and beta-sheets, indicative of a protein.
Step 2: Relate structure to hormone type
Proteins with complex folded structures like this can function as protein hormones. These hormones are typically larger and more complex than other hormone types.
Step 3: Eliminate other options
Amine hormones are derived from single amino acids, peptide hormones are short chains of amino acids, and steroid hormones are derived from cholesterol. None of these match the complex folded structure observed in C.
