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 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 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 Parenchyma, Collenchyma and Sclerenchyma Cells

Last updated on May 14, 2019 by Divanshi G

Parenchyma cells are the type of living plant cells, which are known for healing and repair mechanism, and food storage. Collenchyma cells are known for providing mechanical support to the plants, by protecting the delicate inner part of the plant. Sclerenchyma cells are the matured dead cells and are found in wooden part or hard stem of the plant. Likewise the humans, who have bones to support their body structure, plants also have certain specialized tissues which help them, by providing … [Read more...]

Difference Between Self-Pollination and Cross-Pollination

Last updated on March 4, 2022 by Divanshi G

Based on the movement of pollen from anther to stigma, we can categorise the pollination process into two categories- Self and Cross-Pollination. At the time of self-pollinations, the pollen travels from stigma to anther of the flower of the same plant. Whereas during cross-pollination, these movements occur between the anther and stigma of two different plants. Self-pollination is a simple and straightforward process. It occurs in about 1/4th plant species of the earth. In comparison, … [Read more...]

Difference Between Simple and Compound Leaves

Last updated on May 4, 2022 by Divanshi G

Leaves perform crucial functions like photosynthesis, storing food and water etc. But they can vary in their shapes, sizes, colours, arrangements, and patterns based on different environmental conditions. On the basis of these differences, we can broadly classify the leaves as-Simple and Compound. The simple leaves are the one which bears a single leaf blade or lamina that remains undivided. The lamina consists of margins, but they are not deeply incised upto the midrib. On the other hand, … [Read more...]

Difference Between Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis

Last updated on March 31, 2022 by Divanshi G

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 Parallel and Reticulate Venation

Last updated on April 8, 2018 by Divanshi G

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 Monocotyledons (monocots) and Dicotyledons (dicots)

Last updated on January 13, 2020 by Divanshi G

The seed in the plant having one cotyledon is called as the monocotyledon, while the seed in the plant having two cotyledons is named as the dicotyledon. Ginger, banana, wheat, maize, palm, onion, garlic are few examples of monocotyledonous plants, while rose, groundnut, potato, tomato, pea, eucalyptus, hibiscus are the examples of dicotyledonous plants. Knowing the family of a plant is useful in many ways, as it helps us to know many factors about plant and how will it germinate, what kind … [Read more...]
