Difference # Hormones:

1. Hormones are the internal secretions of endocrine glands.

2. All the hormones are not protein. Some of them are steroids, amines and fatty acids.

3. The hormones are poured in the circulating blood and transported to different places of body through blood.

4. Hormones are destroyed after their functions.

5. Hormones can act both slowly and quickly.

6. Some Hormones stimulates secretions of enzymes.

7. Hormones can act at a very low concentration.

Difference # Enzymes:

1. Enzymes are the secretory products of endocrine glands.

2. All the Enzymes are protein.

3. The Enzymes are carried by a duct and used locally within the cell or organ into which they are secreted. They are not circulated in blood.

4. Enzymes can be used again and again.

5. Enzymes can act at relatively high concentration.

6. Enzymes does not cause secretions of hormones.

There are 6 major classes of enzymes found in the body. The following are the names of enzymes and their functions:

Ligase: This enzyme in the body requires ATP and binds nucleotides together in the nucleic acids. It also binds simple sugars in polysaccarides.Lyase: This enzyme in the body breaks the bonds between carbon atoms or carbon nitrogen bond.Hydrolase: This enzyme in the body breaks large molecules into simpler molecules by adding a water molecule.Transferase: This enzyme in the body cuts a part of one molecule and attaches it to another molecule.Isomerase: The atoms in a molecule are rearranged without changing their chemical formula. This helps in getting carbohydrate molecules for certain enzymatic processes.Oxido-reductase: This enzyme removes hydrogen or electrons from one molecule and donates it to another molecule. This enzyme is mainly involved in mitochondrial energy production.Kinase: This enzyme in the body attaches a phosphate group to a high energy bond. It is a very important enzyme required for ATP production and activation of certain enzymes.

Note- In naming enzymes, the “-ase” suffix is often appended to the name of the substrate molecule upon which which the enzyme reacts. For example, the enzyme sucrase catalyzes the transformation of the sugar sucrose in to glucose and fructose. In this case, the “sucr-” suffix represents the molecule upon which the sucrase enzyme reacts. Not all enzymes are named according to this convention.

Further on, there are 3 types of enzymes:

Food enzymes, Digestive enzymes and Metabolic enzymes.

Keeping the important ones (for UPSC/ IAS prelims) in focus, here is the list of digestive enzymes.

Important Digestive Enzymes and their functions

Digestive enzymes are secreted by the body that helps in digestion of food. The names of enzymes that help in digestion are:

Amylase: This enzyme helps in breaking down carbohydrates. It is found in saliva, pancreas and intestinal juices.Proteases: It helps in digestion of proteins. It is present in the stomach, pancreatic and intestinal juices.Lipases: Lipases assist in digestion of fats. It is seen in the stomach, pancreatic juice and food fats.#1. Amylase

Breaks down carbohydrates, starches, and sugars which are prevalent in potatoes, fruits, vegetables, and many snack foods

• lactase – breaks down lactose (milk sugars)
• diastase – digests vegetable starch
• sucrase – digests complex sugars and starches
• maltase – digests disaccharides to monosaccharides (malt sugars)
• invertase – breaks down sucrose (table sugar)
• glucoamylase – breaks down starch to glucose
• alpha-glactosidase – facilitates digestion of beans, legumes, seeds,
roots, soy products, and underground stems

#2. Protease

Breaks down proteins found in meats, nuts, eggs, and cheese

• pepsin – breaks down proteins into peptides
• peptidase – breaks down small peptide proteins to amino acids
• trypsin – derived from animal pancreas, breaks down proteins
• alpha – chymotrypsin, an animal-derived enzyme, breaks down proteins
• bromelain – derived from pineapple, breaks down a broad spectrum of proteins, has anti-inflammatory properties, effective over very wide pH range
• papain – derived from raw papaya, broad range of substrates and pH, works well breaking down small and large proteins

#3. Lipase

Breaks down fats found in most dairy products, nuts, oils, and meat
