Which of the following pairs of hormones can easily pass through the cell membrane and binds to a receptor inside it (mostly in the nucleus)?

Step-by-step solution

Cortisol and testosterone are steroidal in nature. Steroid hormones are lipid soluble and easily pass through cell membrane of a target cell into the cytoplasm. In the cytoplasm they bind to specific intracellular receptors (proteins) to form a hormone receptor complex that enters the nucleus.
