The animal has a cord or backbone in their body structure are chordates. Contrary, Non-chordates are the animals without backbone or notochord, this the vital difference between chordates and non-chordates is that the. These animals belong to the different phyla of the animal kingdom. Also being same at the multicellular level, there is a lot of difference between patterns of organization of cells in this kingdom. Lower animals like coelenterates, sponges differ in cellular level of … [Read more...]
Difference Between Homozygous and Heterozygous
Individual organisms carrying two identical alleles (for example RR or rr) are called as homozygous. While individual organisms bear different alleles (for example Rr) are called heterozygous. A homozygous trait is when the same kind of two alleles associate to form a trait. A heterozygous is a trait when different kinds of two alleles associate to form a trait. In this type, dominant and regressive alleles are present in the pair, and the dominant will represent the kind of trait the … [Read more...]
Difference Between Angiosperms and Gymnosperms
Both the gymnosperms and angiosperms are significant groups of kingdom Plantae. But they widely differ in their appearance, growth, characteristics, and reproductive pattern. The gymnosperms on one hand bear the naked seeds. But the seeds of angiosperms are enclosed within the case or a covering of fruit. Gymnosperms have cones or strobilus as their reproductive organs. Whereas, the flowers are the reproductive entity in angiosperms. The angiosperms make your surroundings beautiful by … [Read more...]
Difference Between Replication and Transcription
Replication is processed inside the nucleus and involves the copying of the genetic material so that the new daughter cell thus form contains the identical copies as their parent cells. While transcription is processed in the cytoplasm where a segment of DNA is transcribed into RNA. Both the process occurs inside the cell. The flow of biological information from DNA to RNA and then synthesis of proteins is considered as the 'central dogma of life'. These involve the three main processes which … [Read more...]
Difference Between Infection and Disease
Infection serves the closest way through which the microorganisms can cause disease and gradually when this infection starts weakening the immune system, and harm the body for a long or short term is called disease. In general, people get confused with these words and use interchangeably. But these terms are totally different in their meaning and applicability, though they share the same passage and reasons of occurrence. Disease depends on the kind and place of occurrence of infection in the … [Read more...]
Difference Between Glycolysis and Krebs (citric acid) Cycle
The main difference between glycolysis and Krebs cycle is: Glycolysis is the first step involved in the process of respiration and occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. While Krebs Cycle is the second process of respiration which occurs in the mitochondria of the cell. Both are the process involved in respiration with the aim of fulfilling the energy requirement of the body. So Glycolysis is defined as the chain of the reactions, for the conversion of glucose (or glycogen) into pyruvate … [Read more...]
Difference Between Small Intestine and Large Intestine
The Small intestine also is known as Small Bowel, which is around 20 feet long while Large intestine which is also called colon or Large bowel, is only 1.5 m long in size. Being the part of our digestive system, they differ in their structure as well in their functions too. The small intestine is called small because of its small diameter which is around 3.4-4.5 cm broad only, as compared to the large intestine, which is 4-6 cm broad. The primary function of the small intestine is to … [Read more...]
Difference Between Monosaccharide and Polysaccharide
A monosaccharide is the simplest form of sugars, containing single polyhydroxy aldehyde or ketone unit. Oligosaccharide consists of two or more units of monosaccharides, joined by glycosidic bonds.While the Polysaccharide consists of more than 20 or more units of monosaccharides, some may have hundreds or thousands of units. Monosaccharides, Oligosaccharides, and Polysaccharides are the main division of carbohydrates. The most basic part of one's diet is carbohydrates, as it is considered as … [Read more...]
Difference Between Monera and Protista
Monera is a unicellular organism, they have a prokaryotic cellular organization, which means they lack well-defined, membrane-bounded organelles and nucleus. On the other hand, Protista is also unicellular organisms, but consist of eukaryotic cellular organization and well defined,membrane-bounded organelles and nucleus, this is the main difference between them. All forms of life on earth are divided into five categories on the support of the nutrition and energy they obtain, kind of cell … [Read more...]
Difference Between Bryophytes and Pteridophytes
Liverworts, hornworts, and mosses are the examples of bryophytes. These are non-vascular plants i.e. do not contain xylem and phloem tissues. Spikemosses, clubmosses, ferns, quillworts are the examples of pteridophytes. They are termed as vascular plants as they contain xylem and phloem tissues. Generally, the plant can be divided into four parts which are roots, stems, leaf and flowers. On the ground of such information plant kingdom is classified into two categories which are Non-flowering … [Read more...]
