Difference Between Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Sodium Laureth Sulfate
The key difference between sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate is that sodium lauryl sulfate is more irritating compared to sodium laureth sulfate. Both sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate are surfactants. They lower the surface tension of aqueous solutions, thereby, enhance the wetting of surfaces. Therefore, they are useful in cosmetic products […]
Difference Between Density and Bulk Density
Density vs Bulk Density Density and bulk density are properties of matter, which are very important when it comes to the study of properties of matter. These are defined for substances such as air, gas or solids, in many forms. Density and bulk density are widely used attributes when it comes to fields such as […]
Difference Between Relative Density and Specific Gravity
Relative Density vs Specific Gravity Relative density and specific gravity are two concepts used in comparing densities of solids, liquids and gas. Both these concepts hold almost the same idea. These concepts are very useful in the food industry, rubber industry and whole of the material science. In this article, we are going to discuss […]
Difference Between Digestion and Absorption
The key difference between digestion and absorption is that digestion is the process of breaking foods into their building blocks by mechanical and chemical processes while absorption is the assimilation of nutrients into the bloodstream. Food that animals eat goes through four main processes known as ingestion, digestion, absorption, and defecation. Ingestion happens first which […]
Difference Between Breathing and Respiration
The key difference between breathing and respiration is that the breathing is a physiological process that takes air in and out from the respiratory system while the respiration is a biochemical process that utilizes oxygen and produces energy (ATP) through the breakdown of glucose. More often people misunderstand breathing and respiration as the same process. […]

Difference Between E1 and T1
E1 vs T1 E1 and T1 are digital telecommunication carrier standards, initially developed in different continents to carry voice conversations simultaneously using time division multiplexing. Both the standards use transmit and receive paths separately to achieve full duplex communication. E1 is the European hierarchy, which was called as CEPT30+2 (European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications […]
Difference Between VirtualBox and VMware and Parallels
VirtualBox vs VMware vs Parallels Platform Virtual Machines (VM) are being used very heavily because they provide the ability to emulate a complete physical computer machine on top of another. Most of such software allows having multiple machines on top of one physical platform. VirtualBox, VMware and Parallels are three of the most popular platform […]
