Difference Between Tendons and Ligaments

Last updated on October 27, 2017 by Divanshi G

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...]

Difference Between Solute and Solvent

Last updated on April 23, 2022 by Divanshi G

The solute and solvent are the two prime components of the solution. The solute is one that gets dissolved. While the solvent is one in which the former dissolves. In other words, the solute is dissolved matter, and the solvent is the dissolving medium. The solutes are present in all three states, i.e., solid, liquid and gas. But the solvents are generally fluid state. The quantity of solute is always less while that of solvent is more in a solution. The boiling point of solute is greater … [Read more...]

Difference Between Acute and Chronic Disease

Last updated on May 14, 2019 by Divanshi G

Such medical conditions which occur suddenly and last for the brief period in the body, are said to be the acute disease. But the medical condition where the disease occurs slowly and last for a long time or sometimes for the entire life is called as the chronic disease. By saying or concluding that the disease is acute or chronic, it will not define the severity of that disease rather only length of the illness or diseases. As sometimes acute condition may develop into chronic disease also, … [Read more...]

Difference Between Plant Cell and Animal Cell

Last updated on January 16, 2023 by Divanshi G

The plant cell and the animal cell can be differentiated by the presence of organelles in them. Although both are classified as Eukaryotes, the presence of the cell wall, vacuoles, and chloroplasts are the most remarkable and distinguishing components of the plant cells which are absent in the animal cells. Even the size of the animal cell is smaller than the plant cell. The concept of cell originated from the historical work done by the Schleiden and Schwann in 1838. Cells exist in an … [Read more...]

Difference Between Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes

Last updated on August 26, 2017 by Divanshi G

 Type 1 diabetes is considered as the autoimmune disease, while Type 2 is said as progressive disease. Also, Type 2 is much more common than the type 1. Both the types are characterized by the higher blood sugar level as compared to the normal one. But the basic difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes is their cause and development. Diabetes is nowadays very common metabolic disorder, where the body is unable to store and use the sugar (glucose) which is found in blood and work as fuel … [Read more...]

Difference Between Myopia (short-sightedness) and Hyperopia (long-sightedness)

Last updated on August 29, 2017 by Divanshi G

Myopia also is known as short-sightedness, while Hyperopia is also known as long-sightedness. These are the defects of vision of an eye in which a person is unable to see the near by or distant objects. The condition in which the person is not able to see the distant object is known as myopia or short-sightedness. Although long-sightedness is opposite to that of earlier given condition, as in this the person is not able to the nearby objects. There are other vision problems also like … [Read more...]

Difference Between Incomplete Dominance and Co-Dominance

Last updated on August 17, 2017 by Divanshi G

When one allele for a specific trait does not completely dominate over the other allele, and therefore the phenotype produced is the complete mixture of both dominant and recessive allele is known as Incomplete Dominance. While in Co-Dominance both the allele for a specific trait are equally expressed. The resultant phenotype will express both the character equally of both participating alleles. As stated by Gregor Mendel, traits are inherited by the transfer of genes from parents to their … [Read more...]

Difference Between Saturated and Unsaturated Fatty Acids

Last updated on March 26, 2022 by Divanshi G

The fatty acids are of two prime types: saturated and unsaturated. A healthy body requires both of them for the optimal functioning of the body. There are certain aspects like their structure, sources, state etc., that make them totally different from each other. For instance, all the carbon atoms of saturated fatty acids are linked together only with a single bond. In contrast, one or more than one double bonds are present in unsaturated fatty acids. Nutritionists' recommendation for … [Read more...]

Difference Between Benign (non-cancerous) and Malignant (cancerous) Tumors

Last updated on August 3, 2017 by Divanshi G

The first thing when the patient is diagnosed with cancer is to detect whether it is a Benign or Malignant. A benign tumor is a stage when the cells show normal growth, but the production of the cell is higher giving rise to the abnormal lump (compact mass). In the case of Malignant tumor the cell shows abnormal growth, they overgrew in numbers uncontrollably, produces lumps and result in the cancerous cell. Secondly, the cells in benign tumor do not spread to other parts of the body from … [Read more...]

Difference Between Cilia and Flagella

Last updated on February 6, 2018 by Divanshi G

Cilia are short, hair-like structure, present in large numbers in a cell, while flagella are long, hair-like complex structure and are few per cell. Cilia and flagella are hair-like appendages, extending through the surface of the living cell, they differ in their mode of beating, size, and number. Cilia and flagella are the locomotory structure, which is the extension of the plasma membrane of the cell. Besides the locomotion, they also help in other processes like respiration, excretion, … [Read more...]
