Answer:

Steroid hormones.

Step-by-step explanation:

Steroid hormones is a type of hormones that diffuses across the plasma membrane and binds to the receptors present in the cytoplasm. The hormones are released from the carrier protein and diffuse inside the cell across the lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane of the cells. The steroid hormones pass through the plasma membrane of a target cell and attached to the intracellular receptors located in the cytoplasm or in the nucleus.
