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 Amphibians and Reptiles
Amphibians are known to live dual lives, as they spend their half-life in water and remaining half on land, these also have porous skin which requires moisture. While Reptiles are the group of animals that live on land, breathe through lungs and lay eggs, they have scales on their body and function to retain moisture. So the essential difference lies in their life cycle and physical appearances. Despite this, these animals shared many similarities, and this is the reason that in earlier … [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 Simple and Compound Leaves
By comparing the typical examples of the plants and trees like Mango, Guava and Rose, Coriander, we will able to differentiate the simple, and the compound leaves easily. As in simple leaves, there is only single leaf blade and incision, which are so light that does not divide the leaf blade, but in compound leaves the incision is so deep that the leaf blades are divided into leaflets. Each one of us is aware of the importance of plants in an atmosphere as well as for living beings. Even the … [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
The ion that has the positive charge is called a cation, while the ion which has the negative charge on it is called as an anion. Secondly, the cation which is positively charged always gets attracted to the cathode (negative electrode), and the anion which is negatively charged get attract towards the anode (positive electrode). An atom or groups of atoms in which the number of protons and electrons are unequal, which gives them either the positive charge or negative charge such atoms are … [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...]
