The key difference between golden rice and normal rice is that golden rice is a genetically modified rice which contains a high amount of beta-carotene and other provitamin A carotenoids while normal rice contains no beta-carotene, and no vitamin A. Rice is the staple diet in many countries, particularly in Asia. White rice or normal […]

Difference Between N-butane and Cyclobutane
The key difference between N-butane and Cyclobutane is that n-butane is an aliphatic substance, whereas cyclobutane is a cyclic compound. Butane is an organic compound having four carbon atoms, and it is an alkane compound because it has only single covalent chemical bonds (there are no double or triple bonds). These four carbon atoms can […]
Difference Between Amalgam and Cinnabar
The key difference between amalgam and cinnabar is that amalgam is an alloy of mercury, whereas cinnabar is a mineral containing mercury(II) sulfide. Both amalgam and cinnabar are mercury-containing substances. Amalgam is a metal alloy while cinnabar is a mineral substance. CONTENTS 1. Overview and Key Difference 2. What is Amalgam 3. What is Cinnabar 4. Side by Side Comparison […]
Difference Between Absolute and Relative Configuration in Stereochemistry
The key difference between absolute and relative configuration in stereochemistry is that the absolute configuration of a substituent in a molecule is independent of the atoms of groups elsewhere in the molecule whereas the relative configuration of a substituent is determined in relation to something else in the molecule. Configuration refers to the arrangement of […]
Difference Between Plant and Animal DNA Extraction
The key difference between plant and animal DNA extraction is that in plant DNA extraction, it is necessary to break the cell wall by grinding the tissue in dry ice or liquid nitrogen in order to release cellular contents while in animal DNA extraction, it is not necessary to carry out this step since animal […]
Difference Between Enthalpy of Atomisation and Bond Dissociation
The key difference between enthalpy of atomisation and bond dissociation is that enthalpy of atomisation describes the energy required to separate a molecule into its atoms whereas the enthalpy of bond dissociation describes the dissociation of chemical bonds in a molecule. Sometimes, enthalpy of atomisation and enthalpy of bond dissociation are the same for some […]
Difference Between Hydrogen Bromide and Hydrobromic Acid
The key difference between hydrogen bromide and hydrobromic acid is that hydrogen bromide is a molecule having a hydrogen atom bonded to a bromine atom through a covalent chemical bond whereas hydrobromic acid is a strong acid formed from the dissolution of hydrogen bromide in water. Hydrogen bromide is a simple inorganic compound. It contains […]
Difference Between Anterolateral System and Dorsal Column System
The key difference between anterolateral system and dorsal column system is that anterolateral system carries the sensory modalities of crude touch, pain and temperature while dorsal column system carries the sensory modalities of fine touch, vibration and proprioception. Somatic sensory pathways transmit body sensations of touch, pain, temperature, vibration and proprioception. There are two pathways as anterolateral […]
Difference Between Abscission and Senescence
The key difference between abscission and senescence is that abscission is a fundamental process by which plants can shed their aerial organs such as a leaf, flower, fruit, seed, stem, or others from the parent plant while senescence is a biological ageing process in which cells irreversibly stop dividing and enter a state of permanent […]
Difference Between Root and Shoot Apical Meristem
The key difference between root and shoot apical meristem is that root apical meristem is a small region at the tip of a root which consists of cells that are capable of dividing and giving rise to primary root tissues while shoot apical meristem is a region at the tip of all branches and stems […]
