Key Difference – Lignin vs Cellulose The plant cell wall is composed of primary and secondary walls. The primary cell wall is composed of multiple layers of cellulose, a glucose polysaccharide. Cellulose is the most common organic compound on earth. 33% out of all plant matter is composed of cellulose. It is a commercially […]
Key Difference – Microsporogenesis vs Megasporogenesis The flower is the reproductive structure of angiosperms. It contains male and female reproductive parts within it. Male reproductive part is known as stamen and female reproductive part is known as carpel. Angiosperms produce two types of spores (gametes) named microspores and megaspores. Male spores are known as […]
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 […]
Key Difference – Plant Hormones vs Plant Growth Regulators Plant growth and development is regulated by different chemicals of plants. They are known as plant growth substances. There are two major categories of plant growth substances named plant hormones and plant growth regulators. Sometimes these two words, plant hormones and plant growth regulators, are […]
Key Difference – Vegetative Propagation vs Spore Formation Vegetative propagation and spore formation are two types of asexual reproduction in plants. Vegetative propagation is the development or the growth of a new plant from a vegetative part or propagule. Spore formation is a method where new individuals are produced through spores; tiny spherical spores […]
Key Difference – Monoecious vs Dioecious The terms monoecious and dioecious are used to explain some reproductive behavior of plants. In some plant species, both types of male and female reproductive organs are present in the same plant; however, in some plants, male reproductive systems, and female reproductive systems are localized in separate individuals. […]
The key difference between simple and complex tissue is that a simple tissue has only one type of cells while a complex tissue has several different types of cells. In plants, there are two types of tissues: meristematic tissue and permanent tissue. Meristematic tissues are responsible for forming new tissues by adding cells to the […]
The key difference between simple and compound leaves is that the leaf blade of the simple leave is undivided while the leaf blade of a compound leaf has several leaflets. Leaf is the most important photosynthetic structure in green plants. Furthermore, characteristics of the leaf are useful in identification of plant genera and species. According […]
The key difference between monocot and dicot leaves is that monocot leaves have parallel veins while dicot leaves have branching veins with a prominent midrib. The leaf is the main site of photosynthesis in green plants. A leaf is fixed to the stem of a plant at the node. Internode is the distance between two […]
The key difference between primary and secondary growth is that primary growth increases the length of roots and shoots as a result of cell division in the primary meristem while secondary growth increases the thickness or the girth of the plant as a result of cell division in the secondary meristem. Primary and secondary growth […]
