Difference Between Self-Pollination and Cross-Pollination

Last updated on March 4, 2022 by Divanshi G

Based on the movement of pollen from anther to stigma, we can categorise the pollination process into two categories- Self and Cross-Pollination. At the time of self-pollinations, the pollen travels from stigma to anther of the flower of the same plant. Whereas during cross-pollination, these movements occur between the anther and stigma of two different plants. Self-pollination is a simple and straightforward process. It occurs in about 1/4th plant species of the earth. In comparison, … [Read more...]

Difference Between Cyst and Tumor

Last updated on August 22, 2018 by Divanshi G

The small outgrowth or pouch kind of lump found beneath the skin is known as the cyst, while a tumour is an abnormal growth or mass or swelling of tissues. Identifying lump or bump under the skin area is quite disturbing, but these are not always harmful. The two most common types of lumps are cyst and tumours. Though it is difficult to differentiate them, as these are found almost in same places of the body like one can have ovarian cysts as well as ovarian tumours. With the development … [Read more...]

Difference Between Flora and Fauna

Last updated on October 2, 2018 by Divanshi G

Flora is the term used for studying the plant's life living in a particular area or region, whereas fauna refers to the study of animals life living in any geographical area. Secondly, all kinds of grasslands, trees, plants, comes under flora, on the contrary, all types of animals, birds, and insects fall under the category of fauna. Although biota is the term used for complete forms of life like fungi, bacteria, etc. Flora and Fauna are scientific words, in general, we use the term plants … [Read more...]

Difference Between Bacteria and Fungi

Last updated on May 14, 2019 by Divanshi G

Bacteria and Fungi come under different categories; the former one is the prokaryotic cell while the latter one is Eukaryotic cells. Apart from this, there are many differences between them like bacteria need a host to live, and they can be autotrophs as well as heterotrophs, whereas fungi grow their own and are heterotrophs which depend on others for their food. Bacteria do not have nuclear membrane enclosing nucleus, while Fungi (eukaryotes) have well- defined nucleus surrounded by the nuclear … [Read more...]

Difference Between Covalent, Metallic and Ionic Bonds

Last updated on May 14, 2019 by Divanshi G

Covalent bond occurs between the two non-metals, metallic bond occurs between two metals and the ionic bond occurs between the metal and the non-metal. Covalent bond involves the sharing of electrons, while metallic bonds have strong attractions and ionic bonds involve the transferring and accepting of electrons from the valence shell. The adhering property of an atom, in order to arrange themselves in a most stable pattern by filling their outermost electrons orbit. This association of atoms … [Read more...]

Difference Between First and Second Law of Thermodynamics

Last updated on July 19, 2018 by Divanshi G

The First Law of the Thermodynamics is related to the conservation of energy, while the Second Law of Thermodynamics argue that some of the thermodynamics processes are impermissible and does not entirely follow the First Law of Thermodynamics. The word 'thermodynamics' is derived from the Greek words, where "Thermo" means heat and "dynamics" means power. So thermodynamics is the study of energy which exists in various forms like light, heat, electrical and chemical energy. Thermodynamics … [Read more...]

Difference Between Mixtures and Compounds

Last updated on March 17, 2022 by Divanshi G

  Compounds and mixtures are two important categories of matter. The mixtures on one side, are formed by the physical mixing of one or more than one substance. Whereas, the compounds are produced by the chemical interaction at the molecular level. There is a proper chemical bonding between two or more elements at the time of compound formation. But no such thing occurs in the case of the mixture as there is no chemical reaction between the components. the mixtures have no such … [Read more...]

Difference Between Smooth and Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

Last updated on March 15, 2019 by Divanshi G

The difference lies between the two is that the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum is not bounded by the ribosomes and is known for storing the lipids and proteins. Meanwhile, the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum is bounded by the ribosomes and store proteins. The another most essential component of the eukaryotic cell is the Endoplasmic Reticulum or ER. It occupies almost 10 percent of the total cell volume. ER is of two type smooth and rough. Though both share some common features too but differ in … [Read more...]

Difference Between Piles, Fissures and Fistula

Last updated on November 15, 2019 by Divanshi G

Piles or Hemorrhoids are the swollen veins in the lower part of the anal canal or anus, these are painless. Fissures are very painful, as they are caused due to the tear or cut in the skin near the anus. The fistula is the small opening develops in the skin around the anus, this opening has pus inside it. Most people do not know the exact difference between the three, as they think that if they have certain kind of pain or bleeding in their anal part, it could pile, but few of them know that … [Read more...]

Difference Between Mitosis and Meiosis

Last updated on July 16, 2018 by Divanshi G

Mitosis has the diploid number of chromosomes and produces two identical daughter cells with 46 chromosomes, on the contrary in Meiosis four genetically distinct daughter cells with each having 23 chromosomes in the human cells are produced which have the haploid number of chromosomes. Secondly, Mitosis occurs in Somatic cells while Meiosis happens in Sex cells or Gametic cells. The above points are the critical one to distinguish between the two, though there are many more to focus, which … [Read more...]
