The key difference between typical and atypical vertebrae is that typical vertebrae consist of all basic components of a vertebra while atypical vertebrae are the vertebrae that have modified structure due to their position and function. The vertebral column is the segmented series of bones that protect the spinal cord and bears the weight of […]
Difference Between Cervical Thoracic and Lumbar Vertebrae
The key difference between cervical thoracic and lumbar vertebrae is their location. Cervical vertebrae are in the neck region while thoracic vertebrae are in the thorax (chest region) and lumbar vertebrae are in the lower back region. There are 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, and 5 lumbar vertebrae. The vertebral column is a part […]
Difference Between Spinal Cord and Vertebral Column
The spinal cord is a major part of the central nervous system which comprises tubular nerve bundle while the vertebral column is a bony, segmented structure which supports head and thorax. The spinal cord runs inside the vertebral column, and vertebral column protects the spinal cord. This is the key difference between spinal cord and […]
Difference Between Atlas and Axis Vertebrae
The key difference between atlas and axis vertebrae is that the atlas vertebra is the topmost vertebra which holds the skull while axis vertebra is the second topmost vertebra which provides an axis to rotate the skull and atlas vertebra when the head moves side to side. Cervical vertebrae are the vertebrae in the neck […]
Difference Between Good Carbs and Bad Carbs
Good Carbs are complex carbs that have more energy, good health benefits and more essential vitamins, minerals and fiber. Bad Carbs are simple carbs that digest rapidly and increase blood sugar level and risk of chronic diseases. This is the key difference between good carbs and bad carbs. Carbohydrates (carbs) are the primary energy source […]
Difference Between Chemostat and Turbidostat
The key difference between chemostat and turbidostat is that a single nutrient can limit the microbial growth inside the chemostat while a single nutrient cannot control the microbial growth inside the turbidostat. Microorganisms are grown in liquid cultures in order to multiply them in a large scale. Continuous microbial culture technique is one type of […]
Difference Between Saturated and Unsaturated Fats
The key difference between saturated and unsaturated fats is that saturated fats do not have double bonds between fatty acid chains while unsaturated fats have double bonds in the fatty acid chains. Fat or lipid is an important macromolecule which contains a central glycerol molecule and three fatty acid chains linked together. There are two […]
Difference Between Chlamydia and Rickettsia
The key difference between Chlamydia and Rickettsia is their mode of transmission. Chlamydia transmits from person to person while Rickettsia transmits by arthropod vectors. Another main difference between Chlamydia and Rickettsia is that Chlamydia cannot produce ATP while Rickettsia can produce some ATP since they have a cytochrome system. Chlamydia and Rickettsia are two bacterial […]
Difference Between Heterozygous and Homozygous Individuals
The key difference between heterozygous and homozygous individuals is that a heterozygous individual carries two different alleles (both dominant and recessive) of a gene while homozygous individual carries two copies of the same allele, either dominant or recessive. Genes exist as alleles or copies. In fact, a gene mainly has two alleles. To be specific, […]
Difference Between Mycoplasma and Phytoplasma
The key difference between Mycoplasma and Phytoplasma is that Mycoplasmas are bacterial parasites of animals while Phytoplasmas are obligate bacterial parasites of plant phloem tissues. Mycoplasma and Phytoplasma are two bacterial groups that do not have a cell wall. Both groups include obligate parasites. Previously, phytoplasmas were known as mycoplasma-like organisms. CONTENTS 1. Overview and Key […]
