Difference Between Deoxyribose and Ribose
Key Difference – Deoxyribose vs. Ribose The key difference between deoxyribose and ribose is that the deoxyribose, the sugar found in DNA, lacks oxygen atom on carbon 2 of the sugar ring while ribose, the sugar found in RNA, has a hydroxyl group on carbon 2 of the sugar ring. Nucleic acids are probably the most fundamental […]
Difference Between Immunoglobulin and Antibody
Key Difference – Immunoglobulin vs. Antibody The production of antibodies is the key function of the human immune system. The antibody can identify and neutralize pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. Both immunoglobulin and antibody are substitutable terms. Some scientists believe that immunoglobulin as the main class of proteins that antibodies belong to based on their […]
Difference Between Evolution and Speciation
Key Difference – Evolution vs. Speciation The terms evolution and speciation have very close links, although they have completely different definitions in the natural and social sciences. According to Darwin, evolution occurs mainly through the natural selection by which one species evolves with the greater inherited characteristics that make them well adapted its changing environment. However, […]
Difference Between Pili and Flagella
Key Difference – Pili vs. Flagella Pili and flagella are two types of extracellular filaments, which are attached to the cellular membrane of most of the prokaryotes including bacteria and archaea. Pili and flagella are different from one another. A key difference that can be identified between the two stems from the function of these two […]
Difference Between Calcium and Calcium Carbonate
Key Difference – Calcium vs. Calcium Carbonate The key difference between Calcium and Calcium Carbonate is that Calcium (Ca) is a pure chemical element and Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is Calcium containing compound; it is one of the most abundant natural forms of Calcium found in nature. Calcium is an essential mineral for the human body, and […]
Difference Between PTFE and PFA
Key Difference – PTFE vs. PFA PTFE and PFA are abbreviations for two synthetic polymers, Polytetrafluoroethylene and Perfluoroalkoxy respectively. They are fluoropolymers and share most properties in common. The most commonly known and widely used fluoropolymer is PTFE; also known as Teflon and the brand name of PFA is Teflon PFA. The key difference between PTFE and PFA comes […]
Difference Between Sulfuric Acid and Sulfurous Acid
Key Difference – Sulfuric Acid vs. Sulfurous Acid Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and sulfurous acid (H2SO3) are two inorganic acids containing sulfur, hydrogen, and oxygen as elements. The key difference between sulfuric acid and sulfurous acid is in the oxidation number of Sulfur. Moreover, when we compare two acids in terms of acidity, sulfuric acid is more acidic than […]
Difference Between Acid-Base Titration and Redox Titration
Key Difference – Acid-Base Titration vs. Redox Titration In general, titrations are used to determine the concentration of an unknown solution (analyte). The most commonly used two titrimetric methods are acid-base titrations and redox titrations. The key difference between acid-base titrations and redox titrations is the nature of the reaction that happens between the titrant and […]
Difference Between Academic and Technical Writing
Key Difference – Academic vs. Technical Writing Academic and technical writing are two forms of writing between which a key difference can be identified. Most people assume that a technical writer is, in fact, an academic writer as well. This, however, is a false assumption. Although both academic writing and technical writing require excellent writing […]
