Our earth consists of a large number of nonliving and living things. These things […]
The main difference between a centipede and millipede is the position of their legs. The legs of centipedes spread away from the body while that of millipedes point down to the ground. In centipedes, there is one pair of legs on each segment of their body while there are two pairs on each segment in […]
The main difference between the crab and lobster is the shape of their exoskeleton. The crab has a smaller circular exoskeleton, and the lobster is larger and longer. Crab and lobster are the marine invertebrates belonging to the group of crustaceans. Crabs belong to infraorder Brachyura family. Lobsters belong to the Nephropidae or Homaridae families. […]
The main difference between force and pressure is that force is an agency that stops or tends to stop, moves or tends to move the motion of a body and pressure is the force acting normally per unit area on the surface of a body. Force is defined as the energy applied to an object […]
The main difference between taxis and kinesis is that taxis refers to a specific and directional motion whereas kinesis refers to random and wandering motion. Taxis and kinesis are usually present in the behavior of animals and insects around us. Taxis refers to a specific and directional motion while kinesis is random and undirected motion. […]
The main difference between Mold and Fungus is that Mold is a superficial often woolly growth produced on moist or decaying organic matter or living organisms by a fungus whereas Fungus is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that comprises microorganisms such as yeasts and mushrooms. Mold is a fungus that cultivates in […]
The main difference between the dominant gene and recessive gene is that the dominant gene is that which masks the expression of the other trait while the recessive gene is that which is hidden by the dominant gene. A dominant gene is a type of gene which dominates in the inheritance pattern and masks the […]
The main difference between osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid arthritis is that in osteoarthritis smooth cartilage joint surface breaks down whereas in Rheumatoid arthritis synovial membrane of joint breaks down. In osteoarthritis, the cartilage of the bones wears away, and bones rub against other bones ultimately leads to joint damage and cause pain whereas Rheumatoid arthritis causes […]
The main difference between Phytoplanktons and Zooplankton is that Phytoplanktons are a photosynthetic, microscopic organisms live in rivers, lakes, freshwater, and streams whereas Zooplanktons are small aquatic animals that also live in water bodies, but they cannot make their own food, and they are dependent on phytoplankton. Phytoplanktons are in fact plants while zooplanktons are […]
The main difference between Enhancer and Promoter is that Enhancer is a short region of DNA that can bound by proteins (activators) to increase the possibility of transcription of a particular gene whereas promoter is a region of DNA that initiates transcription of a specific gene. The enhancer is a short region of DNA that […]
The main difference between urine and filtrate is that urine is waste liquid excreted through urethra whereas filtrate is the liquid formed during the formation of urine. Water is the major constituent of urine forming almost 95% of urine, and the remaining part is composed of other organic and inorganic constituents. Other constituents are urea […]
The main difference between the polyps and fibroids is that polyps are abnormal soft tissues outgrowths developed inside the uterus on the other side fibroids are unusual tumors that found in the female reproductive systems. Polyps are the outgrowths of the endometrial tissues lining the uterus whereas fibroids are the growth of muscle tissues and […]
