Difference Between Hypothermia and Hyperthermia

Last updated on May 17, 2022 by Divanshi G

Hypothermia and hyperthermia are the situations related to overwhelmed body temperatures. Our body functions optimally around 37 °C. The body can withstand the change of a few degrees up and down, but things might start malfunctioning if the temperature fluctuates beyond that. Hypothermia, on the one hand, happens when you get exposed to a cold, wet or windy environment for a prolonged period of time. This might cause your body temperature to fall dramatically to low levels. The main reason … [Read more...]

Difference Between Sleep and Rest

Last updated on May 5, 2022 by Divanshi G

You certainly might not have thought that sleep and rest are two different things. Although they aim for the same thing, i.e., to relax the body both physically and mentally, they are two different processes. Resting is a state where our body is chilled out from a stressed routine. It is a kind of activity that a person frequently does in order to regain his lost freshness or energy. However, sleep is a kind of altered conscious state where the body shuts down all the physical and mental … [Read more...]

Difference Between Prism and Pyramid

Last updated on April 26, 2022 by Divanshi G

People often get confused between prism and pyramid due to their very similar appearance. But there are plenty of differences that distinguish them into two geometrical categories. The prism, on one hand, has two bases that are congruent to each other. Its sides are rectangular in shape. As well as these sides are perpendicular to both the bases. In contrast, the pyramid is a structure with only one polygonal base. Its sides are triangular in shape. These sides meet at the common meeting … [Read more...]

Difference Between Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)

Last updated on September 6, 2021 by Divanshi G

Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) is the measurement of the amount of oxygen consumed by aquatic microorganisms to decompose or to oxidize the organic matter. On the other hand, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) refers to the amount of oxygen needed to break down the pollutants chemically. BOD and COD are correlated, as both are the methods with the aim of indicating the amount of pollution present in a given water sample. However, BOD is widely used due to some practical reasons, but the analysis … [Read more...]

Difference Between Lyophilic and Lyophobic Colloids

Last updated on July 25, 2021 by Divanshi G

The solvent-loving colloids or such colloids which show less or distinct affinity towards dispersion medium is known as Lyophilic colloids. The solvent-hating colloids or such colloids which do not have any attraction towards dispersion medium is known as Lyophobic colloids. The colloidal state is said when the particle size is between 1 to 100 nm. When the particle size is less than 1nm it is in the true solution, while when the particle size is more than 100 nm, the matter exists in the … [Read more...]

Difference Between Kwashiorkor and Marasmus

Last updated on September 20, 2020 by Divanshi G

Kwashiorkor is the severe protein deficiency in the children, while marasmus is the severe deficiency of the nutrients and insufficient intake of calorie. This is the primary difference between the two. Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) or Protein-calorie malnutrition (PCM) is the result of the deficiency of the carbohydrates, fats and especially proteins. The above two diseases, which are kwashiorkor and marasmus, are the commonest among such deficiencies and is frequently occurs in infants … [Read more...]

Difference Between Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)

Last updated on July 25, 2020 by Divanshi G

Liquefied Petroleum Gas or LPG is the very known name for all of you, as it is known as the cooking gas. It is one of the natural gas which can be obtained as a by-product from the processing of natural gas and petroleum refining. It consists of butane, propane and butylene. Compressed Natural Gas or CNG is widely used gas in cars, and it is also a natural gas which is obtained from methane wells, coal bed. It consists of methane. These natural gases distribution is easy for the long-distance … [Read more...]

Difference Between Bohr and Rutherford’s Atomic Models

Last updated on August 25, 2021 by Divanshi G

Niels Bohr postulates the atomic model which states that electrons move in specific circular orbits around the nucleus with quantized kinetic and potential energies. Ernest Rutherford said that an atom consists of the whole mass that is concentrated into the center. From the above statement, we can say that both the models of the atom differ in the way they explained the movements of electrons around the nucleus and their energy levels. We all are aware of the modern theory which says that … [Read more...]

Difference Between Green and White Revolution

Last updated on March 2, 2020 by Divanshi G

The Green Revolution is the programme started in India and other developing countries to increase the production of wheat and rice and become self-sufficient. On the other hand, White Revolution or Operation Flood is an association with the objective of increasing milk production in India. Let's get back to history, the Third Agricultural Revolution or the Green Revolution has its birthplace in Mexico, which started in the year 1950. It is the initiatives that consist of the set of research … [Read more...]

Difference Between Kharif and Rabi Crops

Last updated on November 25, 2019 by Divanshi G

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...]
