Any matter can undergo two types of changes: Physical or Chemical changes. The physical changes are those actions that generate no new substance. Instead, the older substance only changes in its size, structure and sometimes texture. Whereas the chemical changes give rise to a very new substance. And the older one loses all its characteristic properties. The physical changes are reversible as the original matter can be brought back together after proper treatment. They are a temporary type of … [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°F. 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...]

Locomotion and movement are the main features of the organisms, whether it is unicellular or … [Read more...]
Difference Between CT Scan (Computed Tomography) and MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
CT Scan uses harmful x-rays ( the form of electromagnetic radiation like light) for imaging, while MRI does not use any radiation and is based on the effect of the magnetic field, radio waves for the imaging of the organs of the body. CT Scan gives the images of the bones in a much-sophisticated way than the x-ray and is good to check the fractures, tumors, and arthritis but MRI which is popular in detecting the damage of soft tissue. It is also seen that CT Scan is not as expensive as the … [Read more...]
Difference Between Tendons and Ligaments
Tendons attach or support the joints between muscles and bones, while ligaments support the joints between bones. Tendons are strong and non-flexible, whereas ligaments are flexible and elastic. Both being the part of the musculoskeletal system, play the vital role in the joints and bones and thus responsible for all kinds of movements in the body. As we all know that the human body consists of 206 bones, these bones are composed of movable and non-movable joints of the bones. These bones are … [Read more...]
