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 Sol Solution and Suspension
The key difference between sol solution and suspension is that the particles in a sol have dimensions around 1 nanometer to 1 micrometre and a solution has particles with dimensions below 1 nanometer whereas a suspension has particles with dimensions higher than 1 micrometre. Therefore, the particles in both sol and solution are invisible to […]
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 […]
Difference Between Imidazole and Triazole
The key difference between imidazole and triazole is that imidazole has non-adjacent nitrogen atoms in its chemical structure whereas triazole has adjacent nitrogen atoms in its chemical structure. Both these compounds are important medicines and have many other applications as well. Some chemical facts about these two compounds are discussed below in this article. CONTENTS […]
Difference Between Enterococcus and Streptococcus
The key difference between Enterococcus and Streptococcus is that Enterococci are generally nonhemolytic (gamma helolytic) while Streptococci are hemolytic (alpha and beta hemolytic). Enterococcus and Streptococcus are two genera of lactic acid bacteria. Both genera include spherical shaped bacteria that are gram-positive, non-spore forming, nonmotile cocci and facultative anaerobes. CONTENTS 1. Overview and Key Difference […]
Difference Between Aerobic and Anaerobic Microorganisms
The key difference between Aerobic and Anaerobic Microorganisms is the requirement of oxygen for the survival aerobic microorganisms while it is not for the anaerobic microorganisms. That is, the aerobic microorganisms require oxygen as their final electron acceptor during the aerobic respiration while anaerobic microorganisms do not require oxygen for their cellular respiration. The response to […]
Difference Between Testosterone Cypionate and Enanthate
The key difference between Testosterone Cypionate and Enanthate is that Testosterone Cypionate has eight carbon atom ester chain while Testosterone Enanthate has seven carbon atom ester chain. Further, Testosterone Cypionate and Testosterone Enanthate are two synthetic versions of testosterone. Testosterone is the primary or the key male sex hormone. It is important for reproduction and […]
Difference Between Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas fluorescens
The key difference between Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas fluorescens is that the P. aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen while the P. fluorescens is not a human pathogen. More explicitly saying, P. aeruginosa is a pathogen of plants and animals including human whereas P. fluorescence is a plant growth promoting bacterial species. Another important difference […]
Difference Between Chordates and Non Chordates
The key difference between chordates and non chordates stems from the presence and absence of a notochord. Chordates are organisms with a distinct notochord developed into vertebral column. In contrast, non chordates are organisms that do not have a notochord or a vertebral column. Chordates and non chordates are two phyla that belong to the […]
