What is the difference between a hormone and an enzyme

Enzymes and hormones are both groups of chemicals that are
produced in the body of plants and animals that help to regulate the various functions
of the theses living beings. However, there is a distinct difference between these two
type of substances and the way they work.

Hormones are
substances that act as messenger of information that regulate the timing and speed of
the processes that take place in the body. But hormones do not take part in the chemical
processes responsible for such functioning. In contrast enzymes act like catalyst that
take part in the chemical processes. Without them the chemical processes will not take
place at all or will be too slow.

Different type of
hormones are produced in different organs. Each type of hormone different body
activities. The organ where a hormone is produced and where is is used are always
different. In this way hormones provide a means of communication among various parts of
an organism.

Enzymes are a substances made by all living
cells. These consist of thousands of different kinds of protein molecule.  Enzyme
molecules function by altering other molecules.  They combine with other molecules to
form a complex molecular structure in which chemical reactions take
place.

Each of the thousands of different kinds of enzymes
does one specific job.  Without enzymes the body functions such as breathing, vision,
movement and digestion will be impossible.
