The key difference between trichloroacetic acid and trifluoroacetic acid is that trichloroacetic acid is a colourless to white crystalline solid compound, whereas trifluoroacetic acid occurs as a colourless liquid. Trichloroacetic acid and trifluoroacetic acid are organic acid compounds we can categorize as carboxylic acids due to the presence of –COOH functional group. CONTENTS 1. Overview and […]

Difference Between Group I and Group II Introns
The key difference between group I and group II introns is that in group I introns, the splicing reaction is initiated by a guanosine cofactor, while in group II introns, the splicing reaction is initiated by internal adenosine. Pre-mRNA is the primary transcript that has both introns and exons. Pre-mRNA should convert into mRNA prior […]
Difference Between Ion Channel and Ion Pump
The key difference between ion channel and ion pump is that ions move passively through ion channels while ions move actively through ion pumps. Ions travel across the plasma membrane through ion channels or ion pumps. Ion channels are transmembrane proteins that passively transport ions down their electrochemical gradient across the cell membranes. Ion pumps […]
Difference Between Dielectric Constant and Dielectric Strength
The key difference between dielectric constant and dielectric strength is that dielectric constant is the ratio between the capacitance of an insulating material and the capacitance of vacuum whereas dielectric strength is the electrical strength of an insulating material. Dielectric constant is a ratio and has no units of measurement while dielectric strength has the […]
Difference Between Endocytosis and Endoreduplication
The key difference between endocytosis and endoreduplication is that endocytosis refers to the cellular process of moving substances into living cells by invagination of the cell membrane to form a vesicle while endoreduplication refers to the process of undergoing multiple S phases or multiple rounds of nuclear genome replication without entering nuclear division or mitosis. […]
Difference Between Amniocentesis and Cordocentesis
The key difference between amniocentesis and cordocentesis is that amniocentesis is done using a sample of amniotic fluid while cordocentesis is done using a blood sample of the umbilical cord. Amniocentesis and cordocentesis are two prenatal diagnostic procedures that are used to detect chromosomal abnormalities and other fetal medical conditions. Both procedures are invasive. Hence, […]
Difference Between Azomethines and Ketimines
The key difference between azomethines and ketimines is that the azomethines are a type of secondary aldimine which contains the carbon atom in the functional group attached to one hydrocarbyl group and a hydrogen atom whereas the ketimines are a type of imines which contains the carbon atom of the functional group attached to two […]
Difference Between Sulfone and Sulfoxide
The key difference between sulfone and sulfoxide is that sulfone compound has two double-bonded oxygen atoms, whereas sulfoxide has only one double-bonded oxygen atom. Sulfone and sulfoxide are organic compounds. Both these compounds contain central sulfur atoms that are bonded to oxygen atoms and alkyl or aryl organic groups. Sulfone is an organic compound containing a […]
Difference Between Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter
The key difference between Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter is that Nitrosomonas is a bacterium that converts ammonium ions or ammonia into nitrites while Nitrobacter is a bacterium that converts nitrite into nitrates in the soil. The nitrogen cycle is an important biogeochemical cycle. Nitrogen cycle occurs via four major processes: nitrogen fixation, ammonification, nitrification and denitrification. […]
Difference Between Cis and Trans Fat
The key difference between cis and trans fat is that in cis fats, the two H atoms are present on the same side of the double bond while in trans fats, two H atoms are present on the opposite sides of the double bond. Fats or fatty acids are carboxylic acids comprised of a straight chain […]
