Difference Between Mitochondria and Chloroplast

Last updated on by

Mitochondria are known for generating energy for the cell in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) by using nutrients and oxygen. The chloroplast is present in green plants and few algae, they are known as the place, where the process of photosynthesis occurs. In the cell of the eukaryotes, there are only three organelles, which are bounded by the double membrane structure - the nucleus, the mitochondria, and the chloroplast. There is the higher level of diversity on the surface of the … [Read more...]

Difference Between Arteries and Veins

Last updated on by

Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart, these are the thick-walled muscular tube, while Veins carry deoxygenated blood towards the heart. Though both have the exception of the pulmonary artery and vein, as here the system get opposite and the pulmonary artery carries the deoxygenated blood, and pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood. Among the two types of circulatory system - Open circulation and Closed circulation. In vertebrates, closed type of circulatory system is found, … [Read more...]

Difference Between CT Scan (Computed Tomography) and MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)

Last updated on by

CT Scan uses harmful x-rays ( the form of electromagnetic radiation like light) for imaging, while MRI does not use any radiation and is based on the effect of the magnetic field, radio waves for the imaging of the organs of the body. CT Scan gives the images of the bones in a much-sophisticated way than the x-ray and is good to check the fractures, tumors, and arthritis but MRI which is popular in detecting the damage of soft tissue. It is also seen that CT Scan is not as expensive as the … [Read more...]

Difference Between Tendons and Ligaments

Last updated on by

Tendons attach or support the joints between muscles and bones, while ligaments support the joints between bones. Tendons are strong and non-flexible, whereas ligaments are flexible and elastic. Both being the part of the musculoskeletal system, play the vital role in the joints and bones and thus responsible for all kinds of movements in the body. As we all know that the human body consists of 206 bones, these bones are composed of movable and non-movable joints of the bones. These bones are … [Read more...]

Difference Between Red blood cells (RBC) and White blood cells (WBC)

Last updated on by

RBC or Red blood cells play the vital role in carrying oxygen to the tissues of different parts of the body. Conversely WBC or White blood cells help in the defense mechanism of the body by creating antibodies. Secondly, RBC contains hemoglobin, which gives the red color to the blood and occupies around 45-50% of the total volume of the blood, while WBC is colorless, due to the absence of hemoglobin in them and comprises only 1% of the total volume of the blood. Red blood cells, White blood … [Read more...]

Difference Between Solute and Solvent

Last updated on by

The solute and solvent are the two prime components of the solution. The solute is one that gets dissolved. While the solvent is one in which the former dissolves. In other words, the solute is dissolved matter, and the solvent is the dissolving medium. The solutes are present in all three states, i.e., solid, liquid and gas. But the solvents are generally fluid state. The quantity of solute is always less while that of solvent is more in a solution. The boiling point of solute is greater … [Read more...]

Difference Between Acute and Chronic Disease

Last updated on by

Such medical conditions which occur suddenly and last for the brief period in the body, are said to be the acute disease. But the medical condition where the disease occurs slowly and last for a long time or sometimes for the entire life is called as the chronic disease. By saying or concluding that the disease is acute or chronic, it will not define the severity of that disease rather only length of the illness or diseases. As sometimes acute condition may develop into chronic disease also, … [Read more...]

Difference Between Plant Cell and Animal Cell

Last updated on by

The plant cell and the animal cell can be differentiated by the presence of organelles in them. Although both are classified as Eukaryotes, the presence of the cell wall, vacuoles, and chloroplasts are the most remarkable and distinguishing components of the plant cells which are absent in the animal cells. Even the size of the animal cell is smaller than the plant cell. The concept of cell originated from the historical work done by the Schleiden and Schwann in 1838. Cells exist in an … [Read more...]

Difference Between Human Sperm and Ovum

Last updated on by

Sperm is the male gamete, produced in the testis of a male, while Ovum is the female gamete, produced in the ovary of a female. Ovum, also known as egg cell and is said to be the largest cell in the female body. On the contrary Sperm cells is the smallest cell in the male body. Egg cell and sperm cells differ in many ways, which can be their origin, nature, composition, and purpose for existence. Though both play an important role at the time of human reproduction process, where the … [Read more...]

Difference Between Food Chain and Food Web

Last updated on by

Both the food chain and food web are the systems that portray the actual energy flow process in an ecosystem. The existence of our earth relies on this energy circulation between different organisms. The food chain is a simple representation that illustrates the linear passage of nutrients and energy. The producers initiate this energy flow and it ends with the apex consumers. In contrast, the food web is a detailed presentation that depicts the interconnection between several food … [Read more...]
