The key difference between capsule and glycocalyx is that capsule is an organized, well defined, condensed extracellular layer that is tightly bound to the cell envelope of bacteria, while glycocalyx is an additional layer composed of polysaccharides and/or polypeptides outside the cell wall of bacteria. Some bacteria have an additional layer called glycocalyx outside the […]
Difference Between Unambiguous and Degenerate Code
The key difference between unambiguous and degenerate code is that genetic code is an unambiguous code since a particular codon always codes for the same amino acid, while genetic code is a degenerate code since one amino acid may be specified by more than one codon. Genes are the structural units of heredity. There is […]
Difference Between Freeze Fracture and Freeze Etching
The key difference between freeze fracture and freeze etching is that freeze fracture is the breaking of a frozen specimen to reveal internal structures, while freeze etching is the vacuum-drying of an unfixed, frozen and freeze-fractured biological sample. Freeze fracture and freeze etching are two procedures that are helpful to study details of three-dimensional structures […]
Difference Between Detrital and Grazing Food Chain
The key difference between detrital and grazing food chain is that detrital food chain is a food chain that begins with dead organic matter as the main source of energy while grazing food chain is a food chain that begins with green plants as the main source of energy. A food chain illustrates the feeding […]
Difference Between Fabaceae Solanaceae and Liliaceae
The key difference between Fabaceae Solanaceae and Liliaceae is that Fabaceae is a family of flowering plants that produce a typical fruit called legume while Solanaceae is a family of flowering plants that bear five segmented flowers and produce toxic alkaloids, and Liliaceae is a family of monocotyledonous flowering plants that bear six segmented flowers. […]
Difference Between ABO and Rh Blood Grouping System
The key difference between ABO and Rh blood grouping system is that ABO blood grouping system is based on the presence or absence of the antigens A and B on the surface of the red blood cells, while Rh blood grouping system is based on the presence or absence of the Rh antigen (Rh factor) […]
Difference Between Estrous and Menstrual Cycle
The key difference between estrous and menstrual cycle is that estrous cycle is the reproductive cycle of females of non-primate mammals in which the endometrium is reabsorbed by the walls of the uterus while menstrual cycle is the reproductive cycle of females of primate mammals in which endometrium is shed via bleeding. Estrous and menstrual […]
Difference Between Colostrum and Breastmilk
The key difference between colostrum and breastmilk is that colostrum is the first form of milk produced by the mammary glands of mammals, while breastmilk is the milky fluid produced by the mammary glands of female mammals. Colostrum and breast milk are nutritious fluids released from the breasts of mammals after they have given birth […]
Difference Between NAFLD and NASH
The key difference between NAFLD and NASH is that non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a disease in which extra fat accumulates in the liver in people who do not consume alcohol, while non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a type of NAFLD that involves inflammation, liver cell damage, and fat build-up in the liver. There are […]
Difference Between Fibrils and Fibers
The key difference between fibrils and fibers is that myofibrils are long cylindrical structures that lie within the muscle fiber while muscle fibers are muscle cells that are long, cylindrical multinucleated cells. The three types of muscles are smooth muscle, cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle. Muscle cell or muscle fiber is the basic unit of […]
