CHARACTER ENZYMES HORMONES
Chemistry They are only proteins in nature and may have a metallic group. They are proteins, amino-acids, steroids etc.
Prosthetic group Enzymes have vitamins and inorganic element are prosthetic groups. Without which, they do not act. They have no prosthetic groups.
Size Relatively large in size Small in size.
Role Catalysts to enhance rate of reactions Signal passers from one cell to other or between organs.
Chemical stability They stay as such after their function. They are damage during the process and hence cannot be reused
Regulation They function under strict conditions of temperature and pH in body. They are not limited by temperature or pH but controlled by brain or external factors.
Formation and action They are formed and also act at the site of action They are formed and act at a distant site
Contribution to life They have limited but essential functions They have diverse functions to control body growth, reproduction and physiology
Examples Hydrolases, oxidases, isomerase etc. in both plants and animals Oxytocin, testosterone, cortisol in animals.
Absicic acid, cytokines, gibberlins in plan
