Key Difference – Aerobic vs Anaerobic Fermentation The term Aerobic fermentation is a misnomer since fermentation is anaerobic, i.e., it does not require Oxygen. Thus, aerobic fermentation does not actually refer to a fermentation process; this process refers to the process of cellular respiration. The key difference between aerobic and anaerobic fermentation is that […]
Key Difference – Fermentation vs Glycolysis Both fermentation and glycolysis are processes of converting complex molecules such as sugars and carbohydrates into simple forms. Fermentation uses yeast or bacteria in the process of conversion whereas glycolysis does not. This is the key difference between fermentation and glycolysis, and further differences will be discussed in […]
The key difference between laxative and diuretic is that laxatives are substances that induce bowel movements or loosen stools while diuretics are substances that promote the production of urine. Laxatives and diuretics are two types of medications that induce excretory functions in the body. However, there are several differences between laxatives and diuretics. CONTENTS 1. Overview and Key Difference 2. What is […]
Key Difference – HTST vs UHT Pasteurization Techniques Pasteurization is defined as partial sterilization of a substance and especially a liquid (as milk) at a temperature and for a period of exposure that destroys objectionable organisms without major chemical alteration of the substance. It was invented by Louis Pasteur. In HTST Pasteurization, the product […]
Key Difference – Dietary Fiber vs Crude Fiber Dietary fiber is an indigestible portion of food derived from plants. It is the sum of both soluble and non-soluble fiber groups. Crude fiber is part of insoluble fiber found in the edible portion of the plant cell wall. This is the key difference between dietary […]
Key Difference – Alpha vs Beta Amylase Both Alpha and Beta amylases are enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of starch into sugars. Alpha amylase acts on random locations along the starch chain whereas Beta amylase work from non-reducing ends in order to facilitate the breakdown of large polysaccharides. This is the key difference between […]
关键的区别——硝酸硫胺vs Thiamine Hydrochloride Both Thiamine Mononitrate and Thiamine Hydrochloride are sources of Thiamine (vitamin B1). Thiamine mononitrate is prepared from Thiamine hydrochloride by removing chloride ion and mixing the final product with a nitric acid. This is the key difference between Thiamine mononitrate and Thiamine hydrochloride, and further differences […]
Key Difference – Probiotics vs Digestive Enzymes Probiotics are live microorganisms that promote the health of the digestive system. Digestive enzymes are specific proteins produced in the GI tract that facilitates the macromolecular breakdown inside the human body. This is the key difference between probiotics and digestive enzymes and further differences between these two […]
Key Difference – GFR vs eGFR Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) is a test used to measure the level of kidney function. Basically, it measures how much blood passes through the glomeruli each minute. Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) is the calculated value based on different GFR definitions. This is the key difference between GFR […]
Key Difference – Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) vs Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) occurs as an abrupt loss of kidney function over hours to weeks and is usually reversible (but not invariably). Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) arises as a result of progressive loss of kidney function over a period of months […]
