Explanation of Solution

The hormones are the chemicals, which are secreted in a small quantity by the cells and help in the development of the plants. They act as a messenger for the cells and induce the activities essential for growth.

The enzymes are the chemical compounds, which bind to the substrate and help in the conversion of the substrate into the product. The enzyme is used to carry out a reaction, which cannot take place in the biological system.

The vitamins are the micronutrients and required in a small amount. The main function of the vitamin is to act as a coenzyme and activate several enzymes required for the reaction.

Conclusion

The hormones signal for growth and development. The enzyme help in carrying out the chemical conversions and the vitamins act as a coenzyme.
