Proximal vs Distal Proximal and distal are terms that are used to indicate distances from a standard point of reference. These are terms that are mostly used in the medical world and not used commonly in daily conversation. Proximal is the opposite of distal. This article takes a closer look at proximal and distal […]

Difference Between Pluripotent and Totipotent
Pluripotent vs Totipotent The entire human body is made up of over 200 cell types. All these cell types basically arise from a single type of cell called ‘stem cells’. Stem cells are defined as the cells having the ability to self-renewal and to differentiate into one or all of the more than 200 […]
Difference Between Cotyledon and Endosperm
Cotyledon vs Endosperm Cotyledon and endosperm are two types of tissues found in the embryo of flowering plants. They are important in absorbing and storing nutrients in plant embryos during seed germination. There are many different features exist in these tissues, present in both dicot and monocot. What is Cotyledon? Cotyledon is a seed […]
Difference Between Alpha Beta and Gamma Radiation
Alpha Beta vs Gamma Radiation A stream of energy quanta or particles with high energy is known as radiation. It naturally occurs when an unstable nucleus transforms into a stable nucleus. The excess energy is carried away by these particles or quanta. Alpha Radiation (α Radiation) A helium-4 nucleus emitted by a larger atomic […]
Difference Between Combinational and Sequential Logic
Combinational vs Sequential Logic Digital electronics is the basis of modern technological advancements. Digital devices are created using the principles of Boolean logic. Boolean logic, based on the nature of the outputs, is separated into combinational logic and sequential logic. Each type of logic can be used to implement different digital elements used today. […]
Difference Between Volatile and Nonvolatile Memory
Volatile vs Nonvolatile Memory Volatile and non-volatile are classifications in computer memory. Volatile memory is a type of computer memory that requires power to retain the stored information while nonvolatile memory does not require refreshing to retain the memory values. What is Volatile Memory? Volatile memory is a memory type in computing that requires […]
Difference Between Processor and Microprocessor
Processor vs Microprocessor It is a microprocessor (an electronic circuit built on a semiconductor wafer/slab) that is commonly known as the Processor and is termed as the Central Processing Unit of a computer system. It is an electronic chip that processes information based on the inputs. It is able to manipulate, retrieve, store and/or […]
Difference Between Pitch and Volume
Pitch vs Volume Loudness and Pitch are characteristics of sounds. Loudness refers to the magnitude of the sound heard, and pitch is related to the frequency of the sound. Loudness, in common terms, is referred as the volume. Pitch and volume are parts of music and sound engineering vernacular, but the term loudness is […]
Difference Between Classification and Tabulation
Classification vs Tabulation Both classification and tabulation are methods of summarizing data in statistics, which makes further analysis of data to draw inferences from the data. In this article, we will discuss in detail the two methods of summarizing the data and distinguish between classification and tabulation of data. What is Classification of Data? […]
Difference Between NAND Flash and NOR Flash
NAND Flash vs NOR Flash Flash memory is one of the most commonly used nonvolatile semiconductor memory types in the modern computing systems and in a wide range of mobile devices and consumer devices. NAND flash and NOR flash are the predominant forms of flash technology. Flash memory technology is an extension from EEPROM […]
