Select the correct matching of hormone type with its properties.
| Column-I | Column-II | |---|---| | (A) Protein hormone | (1) Reacts with receptor on surface of cell | | (B) Steroid hormone | (2) Reacts with receptor inside the cell | | | (3) Result is relatively rapid | | | (4) Result is relatively slow | | | (5) Generation of secondary messenger |
