Answer:

Lipid soluble hormones:

Lipid soluble hormones are hydrophobic in nature and contains hydrophobic signals. Their receptors are present inside the nucleus and some are limited to cytosol as well. The binding of the receptor to its ligand stimulates the synthesis of new protein. The binding of hormone response element binds to the enhancer  region of DNA. Example: steroid hormones and thyroid hormones.

Water soluble hormones:

Water soluble hormones are hydrophilic in nature and contains hydrophilic signals. Their receptors are present on the cell membrane . The binding of the receptor to its ligand stimulates the signaling cascades mechanism. The binding of hormone to its receptor results in the activation of protein kinase and secondary messenger.

Which of the following organic compounds is the main source of energy for living things?a.carbohydratesc.nucleic acidsb.lipidsd.

Well, carbohydrates burn and release energy. Nucleic acids give identity (like DNA, RNA). Lipids also give energy, but it's more difficult (they must be first turned into carbohydrates first). Proteins are building blocks for the cells.
Now, knowing all of this should make it easy to choose the correct answer :)
