    Solution:

    Steroid hormones (e.g., oestrogen, cortisol, aldosterone) and thyroid hormones (e.g., thyroxine) are lipid-soluble hormones. 

    They diffuse through the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane and interact with intracellular receptors (cytoplasmic or nuclear receptors). 

    Thyrocalcitonin, FSH and oxytocin are water-soluble hormones and bind to cell surface receptors.
