The key difference between glyceraldehyde and dihydroxyacetone is that glyceraldehyde is an aldehyde, whereas dihydroxyacetone is a ketone. Both glyceraldehyde and dihydroxyacetone are simple carbohydrates. Both these compounds have the same chemical formula C3H6O3. But, their structures and functional groups are different from each other. Therefore, there is a difference between glyceraldehyde and dihydroxyacetone in […]

Difference Between Uniparental Disomy and Genomic Imprinting
The key difference between uniparental disomy and genomic imprinting is that uniparental disomy refers to multiple sets of processes such as receiving two copies of the chromosome or a part of the chromosome while genomic imprinting refers to the process where one copy of the gene is inactivated. Uniparental disomy and genomic imprinting are rare […]
Difference Between Internal Receptors and Cell Surface Receptors
The key difference between internal receptors and cell surface receptors is that internal receptors are present in the cytoplasm and respond to hydrophobic ligands that enter the cell across the plasma membrane while cell surface receptors are present on the cell membrane and respond to external ligands that do not travel across the cell membrane. […]
Difference Between Hybridization and Overlapping
The key difference between hybridization and overlapping is that hybridization refers to the formation of new hybrid orbitals via overlapping of atomic orbitals, whereas overlapping refers to the mixing of atomic orbitals. Orbitals are hypothetical structures that can be filled with electrons. According to different discoveries, scientists proposed different shapes for these orbitals. There are three main […]
Difference Between Rho Dependent and Rho Independent Termination
The key difference between Rho dependent and Rho independent termination is that in Rho dependent termination, Rho factor binds with the transcript and terminates transcription by breaking hydrogen bonds between the template and the transcript, while Rho independent termination terminates the transcription by producing a hairpin loop structure and then U rich region in the […]
Difference Between Absolute Cost Advantage and Comparative Cost Advantage
The key difference between absolute cost advantage and comparative cost advantage is that absolute cost advantage focuses on manufacturing a product at the lowest cost to gain competitive advantage whereas comparative cost advantage focuses on manufacturing a particular product at a lower opportunity cost to ensure relative productivity than other businesses. Absolute cost advantage and […]
Difference Between Diploid and Triploid Grass Carp
The key difference between diploid and triploid grass carp is that diploid grass carp is a fish species that possess two sets of chromosomes and is able to reproduce while triploid grass is a sterile fish species that possess three sets of chromosomes including an extra set of chromosomes. Grass carp or Ctenopharyngodon idella is […]
Difference Between Activity and Fugacity
The key difference between activity and fugacity is that activity refers to the effective concentration of a chemical species under non-ideal conditions, whereas fugacity refers to the effective partial pressure of a chemical species under non-ideal conditions. Activity and fugacity are important chemical concepts in thermodynamics. These terms are defined for non-ideal behaviour of real […]
Difference Between HbA and HbF
The key difference between HbA and HbF is that HbA refers to adult hemoglobin which is an α2β2 tetramer while HbF refers to fetal hemoglobin, which is an α2γ2 tetramer that can bind to oxygen with greater affinity than HbA. Hemoglobin is a complex protein molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the […]
Difference Between SO2 and SO3
The key difference between SO2 and SO3 is that SO2 is a colourless gas at room temperature, whereas SO3 is a colourless to white crystalline solid. SO2 is sulfur dioxide while SO3 is sulfur trioxide. Both are oxides of sulfur. CONTENTS 1. Overview and Key Difference 2. What is SO2 3. What is SO3 4. Side by […]
