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...]
Difference Between Amphibians and Reptiles
Both the amphibians and reptiles belong to the phylum chordate, thereby having well defined vertebral columns. But still, they greatly differ in their living habits, structure, reproduction cycle and even habitat. The class amphibians comprise the animals like toads, frogs, and salamanders. They can survive easily on land and water as they have optional gills or porous skin to breathe along with lungs. Whereas the class Reptilia include snakes, lizards, and turtles. They are strictly … [Read more...]
Difference Between Physical and Chemical Change
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 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 Simple and Compound Leaves
Leaves perform crucial functions like photosynthesis, storing food and water etc. But they can vary in their shapes, sizes, colours, arrangements, and patterns based on different environmental conditions. On the basis of these differences, we can broadly classify the leaves as-Simple and Compound. The simple leaves are the one which bears a single leaf blade or lamina that remains undivided. The lamina consists of margins, but they are not deeply incised upto the midrib. On the other hand, … [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 Cation and Anion
We can divide the ions into two categories: cation and anion, based on the charge they bear. However, they both get generated from a neutral atom. The cations consist of more positively charged protons than that of negative electrons. And due to this extra positivity, they have a positive charge. In contrast, the anions are negatively charged as they possess more electrons than protons. The cations being positively charged, tend to move towards the negative electrode. Whereas, the positive … [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 Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis
Cellular respiration takes place in the every living organisms, as it is the simple process of converting oxygen and glucose into carbon dioxide and water and ultimately producing energy for the cells of the body. On the contrary, photosynthesis occurs in green plants, which contain chlorophyll and uses sunlight and water to convert it into energy. These are the two reciprocal process, with the same aim of obtaining energy but by using different methods, different sources and thus giving out … [Read more...]
