\t\t\tChemistryThey are only proteins in nature and may have a metallic group.They are proteins, amino-acids, steroids etc.Prosthetic groupEnzymes have vitamins and inorganic element are prosthetic groups. Without which, they do not act.They have no prosthetic groups.SizeRelatively large in sizeSmall in size.RoleCatalysts to enhance rate of reactionsSignal passers from one cell to other or between organs.Chemical stabilityThey stay as such after their function.They are damage during the process and hence cannot be reusedRegulationThey function under strict conditions of temperature and pH in body.They are not limited by temperature or pH but controlled by brain or external factors.Formation and actionThey are formed and also act at the site of actionThey are formed and act at a distant siteContribution to lifeThey have limited but essential functionsThey have diverse functions to control body growth, reproduction and physiologyExamplesHydrolases, oxidases, isomerase etc. in both plants and animalsOxytocin, testosterone, cortisol in animals.
