Difference Between Nosocomial and Community Acquired Infection
The key difference between Nosocomial and Community Acquired Infection is that the patients contract nosocomial infection (or the hospital-acquired infection) within a healthcare facility. But patients contract community-acquired infection outside a healthcare facility. Let’s discuss more details on these two infections; especially, the definition of these infections, the causatives of both these diseases, how these […]
Difference Between Rolaids and Tums
The key difference between Rolaids and Tums is that the Rolaids contains two active ingredients that can fight heartburns whereas the Tums contains only one active ingredient that can fight heartburns. Both Rolaids and Tums are two commercial brands of antacids that we can use to relief heartburns. Heartburns or acid indigestion is the burning […]
Difference Between BRCA1 and BRCA2 Mutation
The key difference between BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation is that the change in the genetic code of BRCA1 gene (BReast CAncer genes 1), which is located in the chromosome 17, is BRCA1 mutation while the change in the genetic code of BRCA2 gene (BReast CAncer genes 2), which is present in the chromosome 13, is […]
Difference Between Glucose C and Glucose D
The key difference between glucose C and glucose D is that the glucose C contains vitamin C added to it whereas the glucose D contains vitamin D added to it. Other than this difference, both glucose C and D are glucose supplements with nearly similar composition. Therefore, they are two market brands. Mostly, they […]
Difference Between Whatman Filter Paper and Normal Filter Paper
The key difference between Whatman filter paper and normal filter paper is that the Whatman filter paper is suitable for qualitative analysis whereas the normal filter papers are suitable for both qualitative and quantitative analysis. Filtration is a technique of separating different components in a mixture. We can use filter papers for this separation. Therefore, […]
Difference Between Complementary and Supplementary Genes
The key difference between complementary and supplementary genes is that the complementary genes require the presence of each gene in expressing the trait, while only one gene out of the two supplementary genes requires the presence of the other gene when expressing the trait. Genes interact with each other when producing a trait in an […]
Difference Between Combustion and Pyrolysis
The key difference between combustion and pyrolysis is that the combustion occurs in the presence of oxygen whereas the pyrolysis occurs in the absence (or near absence) of oxygen. Both combustion and pyrolysis are thermochemical reactions. Combustion is exothermic because it produces heat and light energy. Pyrolysis, on the other hand, is a decomposition reaction […]
Difference Between CFC and HCFC
The key difference between CFC and HCFC is that the CFC contains only carbon, fluorine and chlorine atoms whereas HCFC contains hydrogen, carbon, fluorine and chlorine atoms. More importantly, CFC causes serious ozone depletion but HCFC, comparatively, has a much lesser impact on the ozone layer. The chemical structures of both CFC and HCFC relate […]
Difference Between Classical and Modern Genetics
The key difference between Classical and Modern Genetics is that the classical genetics is the Mendelian genetics or the older concept of genetics, which solely expressed based on the phenotypes resulted from breeding experiments while the modern genetics is the new concept of genetics, which allows the direct investigation of genotypes together with phenotypes. The […]
