Kharif and Rabi are the two varieties or group of crops that have been divided based on the season they require to grow. For instance, Jowar, Bajra, Maize, Sugarcane, Cotton, Pulses, etc., are such plants that grow in the rainy season and so-known as Kharif crops. On the contrary, Oats, Wheat, Gram, Barley, etc., are such plants that grow in the winter season and so-termed as Rabi crops. Crops are the plants, grown by the farmers on a large scale, that can be of a same or different kind. … [Read more...]
Difference Between Conductors, Semiconductors and Insulators
Conductors, semiconductors and insulators can be distinguished on the ground of their conductivity and other properties. Conductors like metals show conductivity at room temperature, but as the temperature increases, their conductivity gets reduced. However, semiconductors act as the insulators at low temperature but as the temperature increases so their conducting properties also; however, insulators have no such effect of temperature variations as they do not have the conducting … [Read more...]
Difference Between Tyndall Effect and Brownian Motion
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 Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Carbon Monoxide (CO)
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 Weather and Climate
The main difference between these two terms is the duration, where the weather is the day-to-day or short term condition of the changes in the atmosphere, and climate is the averaged 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, climate changes are observed in term of years, decades and centuries and … [Read more...]
Difference Between Humoral and Cell-Mediated Immunity
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
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 True Solution, Colloidal Solution, and Suspension
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 Renewable and Non-Renewable Resources
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 Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressures
When the muscles of the heart contracts it is known as systolic, whereas when the heart muscles relax it is known as diastolic. At the time of systole the blood pressure increases, but at the time of diastole, the blood pressure decreases. These are the two types of blood pressure, controlled by the beating of the one's heart. The heart is the organ which provides oxygenated blood to all tissues, organs and other body parts. For pumping the blood the heart contracts and relax continuously and … [Read more...]
