@mell From my college bio classes:

A hormone is a chemical which causes a cell to alter how it transcribes DNA into protein. The hormone gets into the nucleus and either increases or decreases the production of some protein. Testosterone, for example, causes cells to transcribe male-specific genes into proteins that cause male sexual characteristics.

An enzyme is a kind of protein which acts as a catalyst for certain chemical reactions. Most enzyme names end in -ase. So lactase is the enzyme which breaks down the sugar lactose. People who are lactose-intolerant are missing the lactase enzyme.

A hormone is the loud noises that a whore makes while having sex; can also be annoying noises a girl makes.

Enzyme is an extremely sensitive person who you have to be very careful around because the smallest move might scare or anger them.

Both right, was going to say "you don't hear an enzyme", but onvacation pretty much covered that part.

You can't hear an enzyme

Well I learned something, I knew an enzyme was a protein, but I didn't know a hormone is a chemical.

Hormones turn you from a female into a male, or vice versa, whereas enzymes chew off your balls.
