Solution
The correct statement about hormones is "Hormones travel through the blood to reach target cells". This is because hormones, which are produced by various glands in the body, are secreted directly into the bloodstream so they can be transported to cells in different parts of the body. Not all hormones are derived from lipid sources, some are peptide and amino acid-based. Also, the effects of hormones are not always short-lived; some hormones have long-term effects on the body.
