Can anyone help?
I guess one is alkaline and the other is acidic ( but i dont remember which one is alkaline and acidic)

Answer 1

Hormones:

1. Hormones are intercellular chemical messengers which travel through the body to reach to target organ or cell and  initiate a process. They are produced by endocrine glands.  
2. They act indirectly.  
3. For example: Insulin cause cells to convert glucose into glycogen.

Enzyme:

1. They act as a biological catalyst to speed up the reactions in the cells.
2. Their action is direct.
3. For example: Salivary amylase, an enzyme present in saliva converts starch into sugars
