Difference Between Active and Passive Transport

Last updated on April 14, 2020 by Divanshi G

Active transport uses energy (ATP) for the moving the molecules in and out of the cellular membranes and therefore remain active, while in passive transport the molecules do not use energy for their movements and so the name is given as passive. We all know that cell is the basic unit of life. It is responsible for all the activities that occur inside our body. But some specialized cells are assigned to do the specific task, which is essential for body growth and development. These cells … [Read more...]

Difference Between Celsius and Fahrenheit

Last updated on January 18, 2020 by Divanshi G

In the Celsius scale, the boiling point of water is 100°C, and the freezing point is at 0°C, while in the Fahrenheit scale the boiling point of water is measured at 212°F and freezing point at 32°F. This is the significant point which distinguishes both. Although there are other factors, which make them different from each other like the matter of acceptance. As due to the easily right property, Celsius is used all over the world, except in the United States, as they use Fahrenheit as their … [Read more...]

Difference Between Introns and Exons

Last updated on April 30, 2018 by Divanshi G

Introns or the intervening sequence are considered as the non-coding part of the genes, while the exons or the expressed sequence are known to be as the coding part for proteins of the genes. Introns are the common attribute found in the genes of the multicellular eukaryotes like humans, while exons are found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The traditional method for the flow of biological information in the living being is that the DNA makes RNA and then RNA makes proteins. These methods … [Read more...]

Difference Between Absorption and Adsorption

Last updated on May 17, 2022 by Divanshi G

People frequently get confused between absorption and adsorption as they spell similar. But the mechanism by which two substances interact with each other clearly differentiates these two physio-chemical processes. On one hand, absorption refers to the distribution of one substance throughout the area of the second substance. In contrast, adsorption refers to the adhesion of one substance over the surface of the other one. In simple words, absorption takes the molecules, ions or particles … [Read more...]

Difference Between Male and Female Reproductive System

Last updated on March 13, 2018 by Divanshi G

The functional and most significant difference in the male and female reproductive system is that male reproductive system only produces sperms and delivers to the female reproductive system. On the other hand, the female reproductive system is designed to produce a baby and promote its development. Reproduction is the process of fusion of male and female gamete, to produce their species. While the organs of an individual body involved in this process, together known as the reproductive … [Read more...]

Difference Between Parallel and Reticulate Venation

Last updated on April 8, 2018 by Divanshi G

In a plant, the veins of the leaf blade or lamina exhibiting the parallel pattern from the base to the tip is known as the parallel venation, on the contrary, when the veins of the leaf blade or lamina in the plants exhibit the web like or net-like pattern on both side of the midrib is known as the reticulate venation. In a leaf, the arrangement of veins is called as venation. The venation architecture is enormously distributed among the diverse species of the plants. The venation has its … [Read more...]

Difference Between Cellulose, Starch and Glycogen

Last updated on March 1, 2018 by Divanshi G

These three polysaccharides differ in their glycosidic linkages and their functions too. Starting from the cellulose which is the monomer of beta glucose and is found in plant cell wall only. While Starch and Glycogen act as the carbohydrate reserve in plants and animals respectively. Though their chains have slight differences at the branching point, which is described below. We all are aware of the importance of carbohydrate, whether it is plants, animals (including humans), or … [Read more...]

Difference Between Moist Heat and Dry Heat Sterilization

Last updated on March 1, 2018 by Divanshi G

When the process of sterilization is carried out at high -pressure through water (steam) it is called as moist heat sterilization, on the other hand, dry heat sterilization is carried out at high temperature under dry condition. The best way to kill microbes is through 'heat', as it destroys their proteins as well the enzymes present in them. So sterilization (destroying or killing the microbes) process follows this principle of killing microbes, which can be either by giving wet (moist) heat … [Read more...]

Difference Between Turner and Klinefelter Syndrome

Last updated on February 21, 2018 by Divanshi G

Turner syndrome is the dysgenesis in the female gonads, while Klinefelter syndrome is the male hypogonadism. These can be explained by saying that both the terms are problems related to the sex chromosomes, as in the earlier one there is lacking of one of the sex chromosomes and so-called as monosomy (2n-1), while the latter consist of the extra sex chromosome and so-called as trisomy (2n+1). There are total 46 or 23 pair chromosomes in a cell of the human body, out of which 44 are said as … [Read more...]

Difference Between Nitrification and Denitrification

Last updated on July 30, 2019 by Divanshi G

The biological process, where ammonium gets converted into nitrate is called nitrification. Further, when this nitrate is converted or reduced into nitrogen gas, it is called denitrification. These steps involve various microorganisms, and it is important biologically as well as economically. Both the steps are a significant part of the nitrogen cycle, which is one of the most important cycles for our atmosphere. Around 78% of the atmosphere contains nitrogen, which is even an essential … [Read more...]
