Difference Between Kwashiorkor and Marasmus

September 20, 2020 by Rachna C Leave a Comment

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)

July 13, 2020 by Rachna C 3 Comments

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

April 6, 2020 by Rachna C Leave a Comment

Niels Bohr postulates the atomic model which states that electrons move in specific circular orbits around the nucleus with quantised kinetic and potential energies. Ernest Rutherford said that atom consists of the whole mass that is concentrated into the centre. 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

March 1, 2020 by Rachna C 1 Comment

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

November 25, 2019 by Rachna C Leave a Comment

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

November 14, 2019 by Rachna C 2 Comments

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

September 13, 2019 by Rachna C Leave a Comment

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)

July 30, 2019 by Rachna C Leave a Comment

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

June 30, 2019 by Rachna C 4 Comments

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

May 14, 2019 by Rachna C 2 Comments

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...]
