The statement is B) False. While steroid hormones are a class of hormones produced from cholesterol, not from amino acids like tyrosine.
To elaborate, steroid hormones, such as cortisol, testosterone, and estrogen, are derived from cholesterol through a series of enzymatic reactions. On the other hand, tyrosine is an amino acid that serves as a precursor for catecholamines (like dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine) and thyroid hormones, but not for steroid hormones.
In summary, although both amino acids and cholesterol are critical for hormone synthesis in the body, steroid hormones do not originate from tyrosine.
