True: 1 and 3.

- Steroids help regulate growth and development (e.g., sex steroids, glucocorticoids, and anabolic steroids affect growth, metabolism, and development).
- Steroids have carbon atoms arranged in rings — the steroid nucleus is four fused carbon rings (three six-membered and one five-membered).

False: 2.
- The basic steroid structure contains C and H (and often O); most common steroids do not contain nitrogen (though some specialized steroidal alkaloids are nitrogen-containing exceptions).
