Difference Between Tyndall Effect and Brownian Motion

Last updated on December 27, 2019 by Divanshi G

The Tyndall effect explains the phenomenon of scattering of light by the colloidal particles in its path that results in the pattern of bright glowing cones in the fluid. The Brownian Motion is related to the phenomenon of random motion of colloidal particles in the fluid. These are the widespread phenomenon that can be observed easily, but only in colloids as these properties can not be observed in True solutions or Suspension. True solutions are the homogenous mixture of two or more … [Read more...]

Difference Between Anatomy and Physiology

Last updated on December 27, 2019 by Divanshi G

The word 'anatomy' means 'structure', while 'physiology' refers to 'function'. We can elaborate by saying that anatomy is the detailed study of different body parts, their organization, and their interrelationship, but how these body parts and organs play their specific role in a coordinated manner is termed as physiology. An understanding of these terms is not only beneficial to health professionals and their career; instead, it helps us know about your own body and its wellness. Familiarity … [Read more...]

Difference Between Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Carbon Monoxide (CO)

Last updated on January 13, 2020 by Divanshi G

Though both the molecules contain carbon and oxygen, the general difference between them lies in their number of oxygen of atoms carried by them; as carbon dioxide (CO2) has one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, while carbon monoxide (CO) has one carbon and one oxygen atom. Carbon Dioxide is naturally present in our atmosphere and as it is excreted out during the process breathing by the animals and humans. On the other hand, Carbon Monoxide is toxic, and it produces suffocation if it builds … [Read more...]

Difference Between Cereals and Pulses

Last updated on June 30, 2022 by Divanshi G

Cereals and Pulses are the types of foods obtained from plants. They serve their individual roles in our bodies, and thus both are equally important in a balanced diet. We consume them in one or the other form daily, which makes it important for us to know more about them. So, let’s start! The cereals are a rich source of carbohydrates and starch. They provide the human body with immense energy so as to perform daily activities. With that, they are high in vitamins like A, B6, and C and … [Read more...]

Difference Between Weather and Climate

Last updated on January 28, 2023 by Divanshi G

The main difference between these two terms is the duration. The weather is the day-to-day or short-term condition of the changes in the atmosphere. And, the climate is the average weather condition of a particular place over a long time, about 30 years. Like for instance, we talk about the weather in terms of "hot it will be today?" "Will it rain or not"? Or "What about the snowstorm this week"?. On the other hand, we observe climate changes in terms of years, decades and centuries and … [Read more...]

Difference Between Evergreen and Deciduous Forests

Last updated on June 23, 2019 by Divanshi G

The critical and the common distinction between the two types of forests is the in 'Evergreen forests' as the name says the trees do not shed their leaves in any season, until and unless they are old which are soon replaced by the others. On the other hand, 'Deciduous forests' shed their leaves in the dry season to save the water loss. Evergreen Forests are found in the area which receives more than 200 cm of rainfall annually, while Deciduous Forests grow in the area receiving annual … [Read more...]

Difference Between Humoral and Cell-Mediated Immunity

Last updated on May 31, 2019 by Divanshi G

The primary difference between them is the mechanism of immunity, where the Humoral immunity produces antibodies against the antigens which are present outside the infected cells or free circulating in the blood. Cell-mediated immunity works inside the infected cells, where it destroyed the pathogens or microorganisms by the process of lysis by the releasing cytokines. Humoral immunity shows quick response against the pathogens, while cell-mediated immunity is slow in action. Both the type … [Read more...]

Difference Between Metals, Non-Metals and Metalloids

Last updated on May 10, 2019 by Divanshi G

Elements present to the left of the line of the periodic table are said as metals, though elements present to the far right of the periodic table are said as non-metals. Metalloids or semimetals are present just to the right of metals and possess properties of metals as well as non-metals. Hydrogen (H) is an exception, which is the first element of the periodic table and normal temperature and pressure hydrogen show the properties of nonmetal. Tin, iron, plutonium, and sodium are some of the … [Read more...]

Difference Between Breathing and Respiration

Last updated on April 27, 2019 by Divanshi G

Breathing is the biophysical process which involves the inhaling and exhaling of air through lungs, whereas respiration is the biochemical process which involves in generating the energy by breaking down the glucose which is further used by cells in various function. Breathing is distinct from respiration in many ways, though both are essential for living organisms. As discussed above the mechanism of breathing is associated with the respiratory organs like the nose, lungs, etc., while … [Read more...]

Difference Between Endotoxin and Exotoxin

Last updated on April 1, 2019 by Divanshi G

Endotoxins are the Lipopolysaccharide-protein complexes (LPS), responsible for making an integral part of the cell wall of Gram-Negative Bacteria and are released at the time of cell death or lysis of bacteria. Exotoxins are the proteins which are secreted by few species of bacteria and get diffuse into the nearby or surrounding medium. Secondly, endotoxins are heat stable, weakly immunogenic while exotoxins are heat labile, highly antigenic. Endotoxins are produced by Gram-negative bacteria, … [Read more...]
