Compare and Contrast between Enzyme and Hormone

Enzyme	Hormones
1.    Enzymes might be well defined as biocatalysts produced by bodily cells. Enzymes are actually protein in nature (exception RNA acting as ribosome), colloidal and thermoliable in nature, and specific in their action.	1.        Hormones are conventionally defined as organic substances, produced in small quantities by particular tissues (endocrine glands), secreted into our blood stream to regulate the metabolic as well as biologic activities in the target cell.
2.    These are biological catalyst not chemical messenger.	2.        These are chemical messenger.
3.    Enzyme rises the speed of reaction by performing as a catalyst.	3.        Hormones participate in the reaction.
4.    Act directly.	4.        Act either directly or through second messenger.
5.    Remain unchanged after the reaction.	5.        Change their structure after the reaction.
6.    They only catalyze the reaction.	6.        Growth, health and welfare are their function.
7.    For enzyme action no receptor is required.	7.        Definite receptor is required for hormonal action.
8.    They cannot regulate morphogenesis.	8.        Generally regulate morphogenesis, especially secondary sex character.
