Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction:- There are different types of molecules and chemicals including hormones which are transported from one region ( source) to the other region ( target) of the organisms body through the blood. These chemicals are not transported as such but are bounded by the carrier proteins that are specific to their products. Steroid are lipid derivatives like - cholesterol, stigmasterol and sitosterol.
