Phospholipids that form cell membranes, steroids that act as hormones, waxes that prevent water loss or water saturation, and triglycerides (fats) that act as energy reserves are all types of organic molecules called

Lipids

Explanation:

Lipids are insoluble in water and non-polar. Phospholipids, steroids, waxes, and fats are all examples of lipids

1.Cortisol passes through the plasma membrane into the cytoplasm

2.Cortisol-receptor complex forms in the cytoplasm.

3.Cortisol-receptor complex enters the nucleus where it binds to genes

4.Cortisol-receptor complex acts as a transcription facto r

5.The transcribed mRNA is translated into a specific protein

Explanation:

Cortisol is a steroid hormone that is hydrophobic in nature and hence it can pass through the plasma membrane of cells. Cortisol receptors are found with in most cells in our body. These receptors receive and use the hormone in different ways. These  intracellular hormone receptors form a hormone-receptor complex  and then moves into the nucleus and acts as a transcription factor to activate the transcription of targeted genes into mRNA. Proteins is produced from these transcription mRNA. The amount of cortisol present in blood is regulated and checked by hypothalamus and pituitary gland  

Hence, the correct order is

1.Cortisol passes through the plasma membrane into the cytoplasm

2.Cortisol-receptor complex forms in the cytoplasm.

3.Cortisol-receptor complex enters the nucleus where it binds to genes

4.Cortisol-receptor complex acts as a transcription facto r

5.The transcribed mRNA is translated into a specific protein
