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...]
Difference Between Plants and Animals
Plants and animals are easy to differentiate by their appearance and unique characteristics. Plants are the only living entity that has the potential for photosynthesis. And thus they are the most precious pillar of the ecosystem. They use the naturally available raw stuff like water and carbon dioxide to prepare carbohydrates. For this reaction, the sunlight acts as an energy source that is trapped by chlorophyll. In contrast, animals are devoid of photosynthetic ability. This is because … [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
Compounds and mixtures are two important categories of matter. The mixtures on one side, are formed by the physical mixing of one or more than one substance. Whereas, the compounds are produced by the chemical interaction at the molecular level. There is a proper chemical bonding between two or more elements at the time of compound formation. But no such thing occurs in the case of the mixture as there is no chemical reaction between the components. the mixtures have no such … [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
The phenotype is the physical appearance of an organism, while the Genotype is the genetic composition of an organism. Phenotype is 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...]
