The key difference between virulent and temperate phage is that virulent phages kill bacteria during every infection cycle since they replicate only via the lytic cycle while temperate phages do not kill bacteria immediately after the infection since they replicate using both lytic and lysogenic cycles. Phages or bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria. Viruses […]
Difference Between Metacentric and Telocentric Chromosomes
The key difference between metacentric and telocentric chromosomes is that in metacentric chromosomes, the centromere is located in the middle of the chromosome while in telocentric chromosomes, the centromere is located at the end of the chromosome. A chromosome is a thread-like structure made from DNA and histone proteins. They contain genetic information of an […]
Difference Between Cataphoresis and Anaphoresis
The key difference between cataphoresis and anaphoresis is that cataphoresis is the electrophoresis of cations, whereas anaphoresis is the electrophoresis of anions. Electrophoresis is an analytical technique we can use to analyze a sample using the electrical properties of the chemical species present in that sample. In this method, we can observe the motion of […]
Difference Between Casein and Lactose
The key difference between casein and lactose is that casein is a family of phosphoproteins found in mammalian milk while lactose is a disaccharide (sugar) found in milk. Lactose is a disaccharide made from two simple sugars: glucose and galactose. It is the main carbohydrate in dairy products. It is also found in breast milk. […]
Difference Between Carvacrol and Thymol
The key difference between carvacrol and thymol is that carvacrol contains a hydroxyl group at the ortho position of the benzene ring whereas thymol contains a hydroxyl group at the meta position of the benzene ring. Both carvacrol and thymol have the same chemical formula (C10H14O), but they have slightly different structures. Although these two […]
Difference Between Agar and Carrageenan
The key difference between agar and carrageenan is that agar is extracted from Gelidium and Gracilaria while carrageenan is extracted from Chondrus crispus. Agar and carrageenan are two natural hydrocolloids obtained from seaweed, mainly from red algal species. Since both have gelling property, they are used in many different types of food preparations. Agar is best […]
Difference Between Xylitol and Erythritol
The key difference between xylitol and erythritol is that xylitol contains five carbon atoms and each carbon atom is attached to a hydroxyl group, whereas erythritol contains four carbon atoms, each carbon atom attached to a hydroxyl group. Both xylitol and erythritol are sugar alcohols. These compounds are important as sugar substituents. Replacing sugar in […]
Difference Between LPS and SPS Corals
The key difference between LPS and SPS corals is that LPS corals or large polyp stony corals are large calcareous corals with large fleshy polyps while SPS corals or small polyp stony corals are small calcareous corals that have small polyps. Corals are marine invertebrates that belong to class Anthozoa of phylum Cnidaria. They are […]
Difference Between PLA and PLGA
The key difference between PLA and PLGA is that PLA is polylactic acid, which is synthesized via the condensation reaction of lactic acid, whereas PLGA is poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid), which is synthesized via the copolymerization of glycolic acid and lactic acid. Both PLA and PLGA are polymer substances having a thermoplastic nature. However, they are different […]
Difference Between Bioassay and Chemical Assay
The key difference between bioassay and chemical assay is that bioassay measures the concentration or activity of a substance by its effect on living cells or tissues while chemical assay analyzes a substance in a sample using a set of chemical procedures. Assay is an investigative procedure which measures the presence/absence or the amount of […]
