It says, which one of the following statements is an incorrect description of a function of a steroid hormone?

First, we have, "Cortisol is a glucocorticoid and regulates glucose metabolism." Yes, cortisol is indeed a glucocorticoid. From the name, it deals with glucose, and it does help with the regulation of its metabolism.

Aldosterone helps to maintain the balance of sodium and potassium ions. Memory tool 2 tells us glucose control and mineral doses. From the portion of mineral doses, we're referencing Aldosterone. Aldosterone is a mineralocorticoid. It does help with maintaining sodium and potassium ions within the cell and the surrounding fluids.

We're being told that Estradiol is going to help to stimulate the breaking down of glycogen within the liver. This process deals with the breaking down of glycogen. Now, we know that estradiols are part of estrogens, right? That's the best example for it. Estrogens have more to do with sexual development in females, not with the breaking down of glycogen within the liver. So this statement is false.

Testosterone contributes to the regulation of muscle growth. Testosterone is the big example when it comes to androgens, which are produced within the testes and have to do with sexual development in males. They also deal with the regulation of muscle growth. So this statement is true.

The only statement here that is false would be (c). Estradiol does not deal with the breaking down of glycogen within the liver. So, this statement is incorrect.
