• A. Are found only in animals
• B. Are found only in plants
• C. Are used completely in metabolism
• D. Are not used up in metabolism

Answer 1

The correct option is C Are used completely in metabolism

• Hormones are derivative of protein, amino acids, and steroids. Hormones are the chemical messenger that provide signals to the cell for performing the particular function. Hormones are used up completely in the metabolism.
• Enzymes are the catalyst, which enhances the biochemical reactions. Enzymes act at the place where they are formed. And enzymes do not get used up in the reaction. Hence, Hormones differ from enzymes in the respect that they are used completely in metabolism.

So, the correct answer is 'Are used completely in metabolism'.
