Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option C: Cortisone
Concept:

Hormone chemical classification determines whether a hormone can pass through a lipid bilayer.

Solution:

  • Any hormone secreted by the adrenal cortex or the gonads is generally a steroid.


  • Cortisone is a glucocorticoid produced by the adrenal cortex. Because it is synthesized from cholesterol, it is a lipid-soluble steroid hormone.


Why other options are incorrect:

Insulin and ADH are water-soluble peptides. Thyroxin is an amine derived from tyrosine.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
