| Hormones are chemical messengers that are secreted by endocrine glands and transported through the bloodstream to target organs. | Enzymes are biological molecules that catalyze chemical reactions in living cells. |
| Hormones have a slow and long-lasting effect on the body. | Enzymes have a fast and short-lived effect on the body. |
| Hormones are secreted in small amounts and act on specific target organs or tissues. | Enzymes are produced in large amounts and act on a variety of substrates. |
