The key difference between insectivorous and symbiotic plants is that the insectivorous plants feed on insects through trapping and digesting them while symbiotic plants maintain a close relationship with another plant species which is mutually beneficial for both or either one of them. Plants possess different modes of nutrition. Furthermore, the type of nutrition varies […]
Difference Between Protostele and Siphonostele
The key difference between protostele and siphonostele is that protostele is the most primitive type of stele that consists of a solid core of xylem without a central pith while siphonostele is a modification of protostele that consists of a cylindrical vascular system surrounding a central pith. The stele is the central portion of a […]
Difference Between Parasites and Partial Parasites
The key difference between parasites and partial parasites is that parasites totally depend on the host for survival, growth, and reproduction while partial parasites only depend on the host for certain factors such as water and habitat. Parasites depend on their host for one or more factors, which enable them to continue their lives. Depending […]
Difference Between Polarised and Non Polarised Cells
The key difference between polarised and non polarised cells is that the polarised cells undergo repolarisation to become polarised where the resting membrane potential is restored after each event of depolarisation while non polarised cells undergo depolarisation to become non polarised where the resting membrane potential is lost by the change in the polarisation of […]
Difference Between Sieve Tubes and Companion Cells
The key difference between sieve tubes and companion cells is that the sieve tubes are the phloem sieve elements that conduct food in angiosperms whereas, companion cells are the associated cells of sieve tubes. Moreover, sieve tubes have pores in the transverse walls while companion cells do not have pores. Phloem is one of the […]
Difference Between Collenchyma and Chlorenchyma
The key difference between collenchyma and chlorenchyma is that collenchyma is a type of ground tissue that provides mechanical and structural support to a plant while chlorenchyma is a modified parenchyma tissue that contains chloroplasts and is photosynthetic. There are three types of ground tissue as parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma. They are neither dermal nor […]
Difference Between Cell Cycle Specific and Cell Cycle Nonspecific
The key difference between cell cycle specific and cell cycle nonspecific is that the cell cycle specific agents act on certain specific, predefined phases of the cell cycle of cancer cells. In contrast, cell cycle nonspecific agents act on all phases of the cell cycle including the resting phase. Chemotherapeutic agents have immense use in […]
Difference Between Mitochondrial DNA and Chloroplast DNA
The key difference between mitochondrial DNA and chloroplast DNA is that mitochondrial DNA is present inside the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells while chloroplast DNA is present inside the chloroplasts of plant cells. Mitochondria and chloroplasts are two important membrane-bound organelles in eukaryotic cells. Mitochondria are the powerhouses of cells. On the other hand, chloroplasts are […]
Difference Between Mesenchymal and Hematopoietic Stem Cells
The key difference between mesenchymal and hematopoietic stem cells is that mesenchymal stem cells can differentiate into neurons, bone, cartilage, muscle, and fat tissue cells while hematopoietic stem cells can differentiate into all types of blood cells in our body. Stem cells are undifferentiated or unspecialized cells present in our body. They are capable of […]
Difference Between Protoxylem and Metaxylem
The key difference between protoxylem and metaxylem is that protoxylem is the first formed primary xylem which has smaller cells, especially narrow vessels and tracheids while metaxylem is the later formed primary xylem which has larger cells, especially wider vessels, and tracheids. Xylem is one of the two types of vascular tissues in plants. Xylem […]
