The first thing which clicks on one's mind while discussing plants is that they have the ability to prepare their food with the help of sunlight, water and air, along with the support of the green pigment known as chlorophyll which is found in all green plants. On the other hand, animals are known for their well-developed body and it's organ system like nervous, reproductive, digestive, respiratory, etc. Animals are also considered to be immensely susceptible or sensitive to any … [Read more...]
Difference Between Cyst and Tumor
The small outgrowth or pouch kind of lump found beneath the skin is known as the cyst, while a tumour is an abnormal growth or mass or swelling of tissues. Identifying lump or bump under the skin area is quite disturbing, but these are not always harmful. The two most common types of lumps are cyst and tumours. Though it is difficult to differentiate them, as these are found almost in same places of the body like one can have ovarian cysts as well as ovarian tumours. With the development … [Read more...]
Difference Between First and Second Law of Thermodynamics
The First Law of the Thermodynamics is related to the conservation of energy, while the Second Law of Thermodynamics argue that some of the thermodynamics processes are impermissible and does not entirely follow the First Law of Thermodynamics. The word 'thermodynamics' is derived from the Greek words, where "Thermo" means heat and "dynamics" means power. So thermodynamics is the study of energy which exists in various forms like light, heat, electrical and chemical energy. Thermodynamics … [Read more...]
Difference Between Mixtures and Compounds
The mixture contains two or more substances mixed, but neither chemically as well as not in inexact quantity while compound includes two or more elements combined chemically and in a fixed ratio. For instance, Seawater, Crude oil, Mineral oils, Alloys (Brass, Bronze), etc., are some of the mixtures, Water (H2O), Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2), Sodium Chloride (NaCl), Baking Soda (NaHCO3), etc. are the name of some compounds. As per the classical physics theory, anything that occupies space has mass … [Read more...]
Difference Between Smooth and Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
The difference lies between the two is that the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum is not bounded by the ribosomes and is known for storing the lipids and proteins. Meanwhile, the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum is bounded by the ribosomes and store proteins. The another most essential component of the eukaryotic cell is the Endoplasmic Reticulum or ER. It occupies almost 10 percent of the total cell volume. ER is of two type smooth and rough. Though both share some common features too but differ in … [Read more...]
Difference Between Piles, Fissures and Fistula
Piles or Hemorrhoids are the swollen veins in the lower part of the anal canal or anus, these are painless. Fissures are very painful, as they are caused due to the tear or cut in the skin near the anus. The fistula is the small opening develops in the skin around the anus, this opening has pus inside it. Most people do not know the exact difference between the three, as they think that if they have certain kind of pain or bleeding in their anal part, it could pile, but few of them know that … [Read more...]
Difference Between Mitosis and Meiosis
Mitosis has the diploid number of chromosomes and produces two identical daughter cells with 46 chromosomes, on the contrary in Meiosis four genetically distinct daughter cells with each having 23 chromosomes in the human cells are produced which have the haploid number of chromosomes. Secondly, Mitosis occurs in Somatic cells while Meiosis happens in Sex cells or Gametic cells. The above points are the critical one to distinguish between the two, though there are many more to focus, which … [Read more...]
Difference Between Phenotype and Genotype
Genotype is the genetic composition of an organism while the phenotype is the physical appearance of an organism. Phenotype are observable and are the expression of the genes of an individual. So even the organism with the same species may differ, with a minute difference in their genotype. This is the main difference between the two. We can notice one's hair colour, eye colour, height, weight, skin colour, etc. but cannot look at genes responsible for these characters, so the observable … [Read more...]
Difference Between Physical and Chemical Change
Such changes which do not produces any new substances after the reaction is called as the physical change, whereas the changes which bring out the formation of new substance is named as the chemical change. So we can say that the main difference lies in the chemical composition, where one (chemical change) of the change is involved in altering the composition of the material and thus forms new substance and the other (physical change) brings out alteration in size, shape and colour … [Read more...]
Difference Between Dementia and Alzheimer’s
Alzheimer's disease is one of the common types of the Dementia. Dementia is a syndrome that describes the brain disorders and makes the person hard to remember, the decline in the decision-making ability, communication ability, losing emotional control, repetitious questioning. On the other hand, Alzheimer's is a disease which affects thoughts, memory, communication skills, and gets worse with time. Majorly dementia deals with the memory related problem, like difficulty in finding things you … [Read more...]
