Key Difference – Trypsin vs Pepsin Digestive enzymes are the enzymes that break the food we eat into small molecules which can be absorbed by our body. These enzymes help in absorption of nutrients and the maintenance of healthy gut. They are the workhorses of our digestive system and are involved throughout the digestive process. […]
Key Difference – Actinomycetes vs Fungi Microorganisms are tiny organisms which cannot be seen by our naked eyes. There are several groups of microorganisms. Bacteria and fungi are significant among them. Most bacteria and fungi are beneficial while a small percentage causes diseases and other harmful effects. Fungi play various crucial roles in the environment. […]
Key Difference – Gram Stain vs Acid Fast Bacteria are very small microorganisms. They are transparent, and their detection is difficult under living and unstained conditions. Thus, various staining methods are developed to facilitate bacterial detection. There are three major types of staining techniques: simple staining, differential staining, and structural staining. Differential staining is […]
Key Difference – Mast Cell vs Basophil There are various types of immune cells in the immune system, including mast cells, natural killer cells, basophils, neutrophils, monocytes, B cells, T cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, and eosinophils. White blood cells play a major role in keeping you healthy by fighting off viruses, bacteria, parasites, and […]
Key Difference – Myelinated vs Unmyelinated Axons Nervous system is in charge of receiving and distributing sensory signals everywhere in the body. Neurons are the building blocks or the basic cells of the nervous system. Neurons are responsible for transmitting the right information or command to correct location of the body. A neuron has […]
Key Difference – Schwann Cell vs Myelin Sheath Neurons (nerve cells) are the main cells of the nervous system. A neuron has three major components: dendrites, cell body, and axon. Dendrites receive impulses and pass to the axon and then transmit to dendrites of the next neuron. Axon is the thin long section of […]
Key Difference – Pinocytosis vs Receptor Mediated Endocytosis Molecules and ions are transported in and out the cell through the cell membranes. This action can happen actively, passively or facilitated in different ways. Active transport uses energy. Endocytosis is one way of transporting molecules inside the cells actively. Endocytosis is defined as the taking […]
Key Difference – Chyle vs Chyme The digestive system is the organ system which converts food into energy and other nutrients. Whatever food you eat is converted into nutrients which can be utilized as energy, for growth and other cellular functions. The human digestive system consists mainly of the gastrointestinal tract and other accessory organs which […]
Key Difference – Arteries vs Arterioles The circulatory system or the cardiovascular system is a network of organs and blood vessels that transport blood, nutrients, hormones, oxygen and other gases throughout the body. The heart is the main organ of the cardiovascular system. Blood vessels, which are tubular hollow structures, transport blood through the […]
Key Difference – Leucoplast Chloroplast vs Chromoplast Plastid is a small organelle found in the plant cell cytoplasm. According to past research, it is believed that plastids are descendants of cyanobacteria which are photosynthetic bacteria. They have entered into eukaryotic plants and algae by forming an endosymbiotic relationship. There are three main types of […]
