The ion that has the positive charge is called a cation, while the ion which has the negative charge on it is called as an anion. Secondly, the cation which is positively charged always gets attracted to the cathode (negative electrode), and the anion which is negatively charged get attract towards the anode (positive electrode). An atom or groups of atoms in which the number of protons and electrons are unequal, which gives them either the positive charge or negative charge such atoms are … [Read more...]
Difference Between T Cells and B Cells
T cells and B cells differ in their functions, like T cells are known to develop various immune response such as invading bacteria from body's immune system, virus attacks, not supporting the organ transplant, etc., while B cells produce antibodies against the antigen. Despite showing variance in their working, T and B cells struggle with the same aim of destroying the invader or foreign particles which are harmful to the body. Our body's immune system is supported by many essential cells, … [Read more...]
Difference Between Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis
Cellular respiration takes place in the every living organisms, as it is the simple process of converting oxygen and glucose into carbon dioxide and water and ultimately producing energy for the cells of the body. On the contrary, photosynthesis occurs in green plants, which contain chlorophyll and uses sunlight and water to convert it into energy. These are the two reciprocal process, with the same aim of obtaining energy but by using different methods, different sources and thus giving out … [Read more...]
Difference Between Active and Passive Transport
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
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
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
Absorption is the process which takes place, when one substance enters the volume or bulk of another substance, while adsorption is the condition which occurs on the surface of the substrate. In the case of adsorption, there are the intermolecular forces, which make the molecules to hold each other, but in absorption, there is soaking of the liquid or gas by the solid rather any forces applied on molecules. Here we noticed that there is the common term used in both the words is the … [Read more...]
Difference Between Male and Female Reproductive System
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
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
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...]
