All amino acid-based hormones are lipid soluble and can cross the plasma membrane. True/False ?

Amino acid derived hormones and polypeptide hormones are not lipid-derived (lipid-soluble) and therefore cannot diffuse through the plasma membrane of cells. Lipid insoluble hormones bind to receptors on the outer surface of the plasma membrane, via plasma membrane hormone receptors.

in conclusion your answer would be false

hope this helps!!:)
