Answer:
The answer to the question: All steroid hormones are synthesized from:___, would be: cholesterol.
Explanation:
Steorid hormones are lipids, constructed from cholesterol, by both the gonad glands and the adrenal glands. These hormones, since they are fat-solluble, can easily pass through cell membranes and they are vital for sexual maturation, function and reproduction, as well as for the correct functioning of the immune system, mediation in inflammation processes, electrolyte and water balance, and the correct usage of energy-producing molecules such as glucose. These steroids are grouped into two classes: sexual steroids produced in the gonads (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone) and corticosteroids, which are the ones produced in the adrenal gland (glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, etc.)
