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
The phenotype is the physical appearance of an organism, while the Genotype is the genetic composition 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...]
Difference Between Cytoplasm and Protoplasm
Presence or absence of the nucleus is the main difference between cell's cytoplasm and protoplasm. As cytoplasm does not have the nucleus, which is present in the protoplasm. Even the cytoplasm consists of the organelles like mitochondria, Golgi body, endoplasmic reticulum, etc., on the other hand, protoplasm consists of the cytoplasm, nucleus, and the plasma membrane. Although, both cytoplasm and protoplasm contain the same chemical constituents such as salts, proteins, and water. The above … [Read more...]
Difference Between Tissue and Organ
Cells make tissues and tissues make an organ, and different organs present in the body make an organ system. The tissue is capable of performing the simple task while organs are known for operating the complex one. Though the size of the organ is greater than the tissue and requires more energy to perform any function. Living organisms have great diversity, whether living in water or land, but shares the essential component in common that is 'the cell'. Being the primary part of every life, … [Read more...]
Difference Between T Cells and B Cells
T cells and B cells differ in their functions, like T cells are known to develop various immune response such as invading bacteria from body's immune system, virus attacks, not supporting the organ transplant, etc., while B cells produce antibodies against the antigen. Despite showing variance in their working, T and B cells struggle with the same aim of destroying the invader or foreign particles which are harmful to the body. Our body's immune system is supported by many essential cells, … [Read more...]
Difference Between Celsius and Fahrenheit
In the Celsius scale, the boiling point of water is 100°C, and the freezing point is at 0°C, while in the Fahrenheit scale the boiling point of water is measured at 212°F and freezing point at 32°C. This is the significant point which distinguishes both. Although there are other factors, which make them different from each other like the matter of acceptance. As due to the easily right property, Celsius is used all over the world, except in the United States, as they use Fahrenheit as their … [Read more...]
Difference Between Turner and Klinefelter Syndrome
Turner syndrome is the dysgenesis in the female gonads, while Klinefelter syndrome is the male hypogonadism. These can be explained by saying that both the terms are problems related to the sex chromosomes, as in the earlier one there is lacking of one of the sex chromosomes and so-called as monosomy (2n-1), while the latter consist of the extra sex chromosome and so-called as trisomy (2n+1). There are total 46 or 23 pair chromosomes in a cell of the human body, out of which 44 are said as … [Read more...]
