There are many types of hormones, including all of the categories listed.

Gaseous?  The dissolved gas, NO, is now known to be an important second messenger.  Paracrine hormones are those that act on cells in close proximity to the secreting cell. ACTH is a polypeptide hormone secreted by the pituitary and conveyed by the bloodstream to the adrenal gland a meter away, so it is clearly not paracrine. ACTH causes the secretion of steroid hormones, but it is not a steroid.

Steroid hormones are hydrophobic molecules, synthesized by smooth endoplasmic reticulum. As they are hydrophobic, they require a hydrophilic carrier protein to transport them through the bloodstream. Steroid hormones are generally derived from cholesterol, not amino acids. 

The pneumonic to remember the hormone of the anterior pituitary is "FLAT PEG." Hormones in the word "FLAT" are tropic hormones, meaning that they act upon other endocrine glands as their target organs. Hormones in the word "PEG" are direct hormones, meaning they act directly on non-endocrine organs.

F - Follicle-stimulating hormone

L - Luteinizing hormone

A - Adrenocorticotropic hormone

T - Thyroid-stimulating hormone

P - Prolactin

E - Endorphins

G - Growth hormone

All hormones travel through the bloodstream in order to reach their target cells, but nonpolar hormones typically require a carrier protein. A key difference between peptide hormones and steroid hormones is their solubility. Peptide hormones are polar, which makes it difficult for them to pass through cell membranes. As a result, they attach to a receptor on the outside of the membrane. Steroid hormones, on the other hand, are nonpolar and can pass through cell membranes. They enter the nucleus and directly affect the cell at the transcription level.

There are three main types of hormones: peptide hormones, steroid hormones, and tyrosine derivatives. Only peptide hormones are soluble in water, and do not require carrier proteins in the bloodstream. Oxytocin is a peptide hormone, so it will not require a carrier protein.

Aldosterone and testosterone are all steroid hormones, and require a carrier protein. Triiodothyronine (T3) is a tyrosine derivative, and also requires a carrier.

It is important to know the three types of hormones: steroid, peptide, and tyrosine-derived hormones. Thyroid-stimulating hormone and the catecholamines (including epinephrine) are tyrosine-derived hormones. Luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and growth hormone are all peptide hormones. Steroid hormones include testosterone and estrogen.

The question specifies that thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) binds to cell surface receptors. This is in contrast to steroid hormones, which are derived from cholesterol and bind to intracellular receptors before moving to the nucleus to directly modify gene expression. Remember, steroids are fat soluble and thus have no need for a receptor on the cell surface; they are small and nonpolar, allowing them to cross the membrane freely. In contrast, peptide hormones are not able to traverse the lipid membrane, and thus require a surface receptor.

One commonality between all steroid hormones is that they are active in the nucleus. Due to their nonpolar design, these hormones can pass through phospholipid membranes. All steroid hormones can be derived from cholesterol. This class of hormones includes testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, and aldosterone.

The other two classes of hormones are peptide hormones and tyrosine derivatives. Peptide hormones are proteins, synthesized from amino acids residues, and are unable to cross the lipid membrane due to their size and polarity. Thyroid-stimulating hormone is a peptide hormone. Tyrosine derivatives are modified from molecules of the amino acid tyrosine, making them polar. Thyroid hormones and epinephrine are derived from tyrosine.

Glucose is not used to synthesize hormones.

It is important to know the three types of hormones: steroid, peptide, and tyrosine-derived hormones. T4, known as tetraiodothyronine, and the catecholamines are tyrosine-derived hormones. Luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and growth hormone are all peptide hormones. Steroid hormones include testosterone and estrogen.
