Difference Between Photosystem I and Photosystem II

Last updated on April 12, 2019 by Divanshi G

The two main multi-subunit membrane protein complexes differ in their absorbing wavelength, where the photosystem I or PS 1 absorbs the longer wavelength of light which is 700 nm while photosystem II or PS 2 absorbs the shorter wavelength of light 680 nm. Secondly, each photosystem is replenished by the electrons, after the loss of an electron, but the sources are different where PS II gets it electrons from water while PS I gains electrons from the PS II through an electron transport … [Read more...]

Difference Between Stems and Roots

Last updated on May 14, 2019 by Divanshi G

The part of the plant which is present above the surface of the soil is called Stems, while Roots is the part of the plant which is present below the soil surface. Secondly stems arises from the plumule and roots from the radical of the embryo. Most importantly stems possess leaves, but roots do not. A common flowering plant (vascular plants) possess a well-defined root and shoot system. These are an essential part of the plant and bears many morphological and anatomical differences. Though … [Read more...]

Difference Between True Solution, Colloidal Solution, and Suspension

Last updated on February 19, 2019 by Divanshi G

The true solution is the homogenous mixture, while Colloidal solution and Suspension are the heterogeneous mixtures of two or more substances. Another difference between these three types of solution is that the True solution is transparent, while the Colloidal solution is translucent and Suspension is opaque. Concerning chemistry, Solutions can be defined as the mixtures of two or more substances, where the solvent is in the liquid form, and the solute can be liquid, solid or gas. There are … [Read more...]

Difference Between Rods and Cones

Last updated on June 12, 2019 by Divanshi G

Rods and Cones are the photoreceptors, useful in providing vision to the eyes. Rods provide vision during dim light or night also known as scotopic vision, whereas cones provide vision during day time or at bright light also known as photopic vision. Secondly, rods do not support the colour vision, but cones are capable of colour vision, with high spatial acuity — the level of the light where both the types of work, is called a mesopic vision. Eyes are one of the primary sense organs found … [Read more...]

Difference Between Micro-Evolution Vs Macro-Evolution

Last updated on May 14, 2019 by Divanshi G

Micro-evolution refers to the alteration in a gene pool of the population over time, resulting in small changes of an organism in the same species. On the other hand, Macro-evolution refers to the alteration in organisms, and these changes gradually give rise to completely new species, which is different from their ancestors. The genetic change in the scale of descent over time or heritable change in a population of an organism; brought up by the process like genetic drift, mutations, gene … [Read more...]

Difference Between Renewable and Non-Renewable Resources

Last updated on July 30, 2019 by Divanshi G

The main points of distinction between Renewable and Non-Renewable resources are the amount at which they are used, and the rate of exhaustion, their costs, effects on the environment. Resources can be defined as available means or stock from which the individual is benefited, while natural resources are such resources which are available naturally on Earth, these can be biotic (living things) like plants, animals (their products), birds, marine organisms, mineral fuels (oil/ petroleum, coal) … [Read more...]

Difference Between Vascular and Non-Vascular Plants

Last updated on February 6, 2019 by Divanshi G

Vascular plants or tracheophytes are known for their proper organization of the systems, and bearing flowers, green leaves, stems, roots, woods, and branches, on the contrary, Non-vascular plants or bryophytes do not perfectly fit with these features. Examples of Conifers, Ferns, flowering, and non-flowering plants are examples of vascular plants, while Mosses, Liverworts, and Hornworts are examples of non-vascular plants. But most importantly the difference lies in the presence of the … [Read more...]

Difference Between Point and Frameshift Mutations

Last updated on February 17, 2019 by Divanshi G

The changes in the single base or nucleotide in the nucleotide sequence and thus changing its complementary base also it is called as point mutations, while when there are insertions or deletions of more than one base pair in the nucleotide sequence it is known as frameshift mutations. Mutations can be defined as any kind of change in the nucleotide sequence or genetic code, which altering the gene structure as well as the amino acids and the proteins too. These mutations occur in the DNA … [Read more...]

Difference Between Oestrogen (Estrogen) and Progesterone

Last updated on December 17, 2018 by Divanshi G

Oestrogen or estrogen is the female steroid hormone known for the development of the female reproductive system, while progesterone is also another type of female steroid hormone known for releasing corpus luteum and supports the pregnancy. These are the types of steroids hormones and are categorized under two category which are corticosteroids and sex steroids. Among which the mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids are the are the types corticosteroids, while oestrogen or estrogen, … [Read more...]

Difference Between Bacteria and Virus

Last updated on September 30, 2019 by Divanshi G

Bacteria are said to occupy the large domain of the prokaryotic cell, while the virus is known as minor infection causing agent. Secondly, bacteria reproduce by themselves through asexual method whereas virus needs a host cell to replicate as they lack cellular machinery but consist of DNA and RNA. When people fall ill, the first thing that struck to their mind is about any contamination, related to bacteria, fungi or virus. This routine is typical in all age of peoples, as these terms like … [Read more...]
