The key difference between LPS and LOS is that LPS has a very high molecular weight, whereas LOS has a low molecular weight. Both LPS and LOS are bacterial lipopolysaccharides. The term LPS stands for lipopolysaccharide while the term LOS stands for lipooligosaccharide. We can find these organic molecules in the outer membrane of gram-negative […]
Difference Between Basophilic Stippling and Pappenheimer Bodies
The key difference between basophilic stippling and pappenheimer bodies is that the granules in basophilic stippling do not contain iron while pappenheimer bodies contain iron and they stain with Prussian blue. Erythrocyte inclusions are a result of different types of anaemia and other conditions. Basophilic stippling and pappenheimer bodies are two examples of several clinically […]
Difference Between Probiotics and Prebiotics and Synbiotics
The key difference between probiotics and prebiotics and synbiotics is that probiotics are beneficial gut flora while prebiotics are mostly non-digestible fiber and synbiotics are synergistic combinations of prebiotics together with probiotics. Probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics are good for the health of our digestive system. Probiotics are gut microflora that provides health benefits. They are […]
Difference Between Modal and Chromatic Dispersion
The key difference between modal and chromatic dispersion is that modal dispersion can occur with a monochromatic light source, whereas chromatic dispersion cannot occur with a monochromatic light source. Modal and chromatic dispersion are important terms in describing the optical properties of optical fibers. Modal dispersion is a type of distortion mechanism in which the […]
Difference Between Gravitational Force and Magnetic Force
The key difference between gravitational force and magnetic force is that gravitational force acts on all the things that have a mass whereas magnetic force acts on things having iron or an electric charge on them. Both gravitational force and magnetic force describe the attraction between two things due to different reasons. There are several […]
Difference Between LoD and LoQ
The key difference between LoD and LoQ is that LoD is the smallest concentration of an analyte in a test sample that we can easily distinguish from zero whereas LoQ is the smallest concentration of an analyte in a test sample that we can determine with acceptable repeatability and accuracy. The term LoD and LoQ […]
Difference Between Synthesis Reaction and Substitution Reaction
The key difference between synthesis reaction and substitution reaction is that the synthesis reaction gives a new chemical compound formed from reactant combination, whereas the substitution reactions give a chemical compound that is derived from an existing chemical compound. Synthesis reaction and substitution reaction are important organic synthesis reactions. Both of these reactions form chemical […]
Difference Between Inert and Labile Complexes
The key difference between inert and labile complexes is that inert complexes undergo slow substitution, whereas labile complexes undergo rapid substitution. The terms inert complex and labile complex come under the category of transition metal complexes. A transition metal complex is an inorganic compound which has a transition metal atom or ion in the center […]
Difference Between Axial and Equatorial Position
The key difference between axial and equatorial position is that axial bonds are vertical while equatorial bonds are horizontal. The terms axial and equatorial are important in showing the actual 3D positioning of the chemical bonds in a chair conformation cyclohexane molecule. A conformation is a shape a molecule can take due to the rotation […]
Difference Between Cytotoxicity and Genotoxicity
The key difference between cytotoxicity and genotoxicity is that cytotoxicity is the quality of being toxic to cells while genotoxicity is the ability to damage DNA and/or the cellular apparatus that regulates the fidelity of the genome. Cytotoxicity and genotoxicity are two qualities of chemical agents or drugs. Cytotoxicity is the quality of being toxic […]
