Key Difference – Homosporous vs Heterosporous Pteridophytes Pteridophyta is the largest phylum of the kingdom Plantae. They are the second most diverse land plants after angiosperms. They are a type of vascular plants which possesses xylem and phloem tissues. Pteridophytes reproduction mainly occurs via the spores. They do not produce seeds. Depending on the […]
Difference Between Vegetative and Generative Cell
Key Difference – Vegetative vs Generative Cell Angiosperms are flowering plants that produce enclosed seeds. Angiosperms contain flowers with male and female reproductive parts (stamens and pistils respectively). Stamens carry male gametes while pistils carry female gametes for sexual reproduction. An anther is one part of the stamen, and it contains four pollen sacs. […]
Difference Between Protonema and Prothallus
Key Difference – Protonema vs Prothallus Bryophytes and Pteridophytes are respectively non-vascular and vascular plants. Vascular plants contain xylem and phloem for the transportation of their nutrients. Therefore, bryophytes and pteridophytes differ in many ways including their life cycles. In Bryophyte life cycle, the dominant stage is the gametophyte, and in pteridophytes, the dominant […]
Difference Between Stomata and Lenticels
Key Difference – Stomata vs Lenticels Gas exchange is an important task in plants. Plants produce their own food and energy through photosynthesis. In order to carry out photosynthesis, plants need carbon dioxide. And also for cellular respiration, plants need oxygen. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are the main gasses which exchange between internal tissues […]
Difference Between Epigeal and Hypogeal Germination
Key Difference – Epigeal vs Hypogeal Germination Germination is the process in which a seed undergoes development and become a mature plant. There are different morphological and growth phases of the germination process. Appropriate optimal levels of warmth, moisture along with the correct nutrients are necessary for the germination process of the seed to […]
Difference Between Saprophytic and Symbiotic Plants
Key Difference – Saprophytic vs Symbiotic Plants Plants possess different modes of nutrition which are achieved through many different inter-relationships that they have with other plants, bacteria, fungi, and animals. Based upon these types of relationships, plants can be classified mainly as saprotrophs and symbionts. Saprotrophs or saprophytic plants are the plants that depend […]
Difference Between Christmas and Easter Cactus
Key Difference – Christmas vs Easter Cactus Christmas cactus and Easter cactus are two-holiday cactus that looks alike. Their plant bodies are flattened, and leaves are stems. The fuchsia-like flowers are produced from notches in the stems. The scientific name of Christmas cactus is Schlumbergera bridgesii while the scientific name of Easter cactus is […]
Difference Between Reticulate and Parallel Venation
Key Difference – Reticulate vs Parallel Venation Veins are visible traits present in the leaf that provide different characteristic features to the leaves. They provide mechanical support to the leaf. They involve in the transportation of water and food in and out of the leaf by xylem and phloem cells that are present in […]
Difference Between Stamen and Pistil
Key Difference – Stamen vs Pistil The flower is considered as the reproductive organ of angiosperms (flowering plants). It is composed of the male reproductive unit (androecium) and the female reproductive unit (gynoecium). Stamen is composed of anther and filament. The pistil is composed of stigma, style, and ovary. Both structures together involve in […]
Difference Between Anther and Stigma
Key Difference – Anther vs Stigma The angiosperm flower is composed of male and female reproductive units: androecium and gynoecium respectively. The androecium is composed of anther and filament. The gynoecium is composed of stigma, style, and ovary. Anther is involved in the production of pollen grains and release of mature pollen grains into […]
