Answer:

Steroid and thyroid hormones form hormone-receptor complexes that are not ___within the cell membrane________________________________.

Step-by-step explanation:

Receptors of steroid hormones (example: progesterone) and thyroid (example: T4) have receptors in the cytosol and in the nucleus, can cross the phospholipid membrane. The hormone-receptor complex takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell, translocating to the nucleus joining DNA, and activating the gene expression.
