The key difference between pits and plasmodesmata is that pits are the thin regions of the plant cell wall that facilitate communication and exchange of substances with neighbouring cells while plasmodesmata are microscopic intercellular bridges that connect the cytoplasm of neighbouring cells with each other, facilitate communication and transport of materials between plant cells. Plant […]
Difference Between Inositol and Myo Inositol
The key difference between inositol and myo inositol is that the inositol is a sugar that is abundant in the brain and mammalian tissues, whereas the myo inositol is one of the nine stereoisomers of inositol. Inositol is a carbocyclic sugar compound present in the brain and tissues of mammalians. It is a carbocyclic compound […]
Difference Between Conservative Semiconservative and Dispersive Replication
The key difference between conservative semiconservative and dispersive replication is in the type of DNA helices they produce. Conservative replication produces two DNA helices in which one helix contains entirely old DNA, and the other helix contains entirely new DNA while semiconservative replication produces two helices in which each helix contains one new strand and one […]
Difference Between Alimentary Canal and Digestive System
The key difference between alimentary canal and digestive system is that alimentary canal, which is a part of the digestive system, is the long tubular canal running from mouth to anus while digestive system consists of both alimentary canal and other digestive glands. Digestion is the principal process of acquiring nutrients and energy. The human […]
Difference Between Intracellular and Intercellular Signaling
The key difference between intracellular and intercellular signaling is that intracellular signaling is the communication within the cell while intercellular signaling is the communication between cells. Cells release signaling molecules to target cells and communicate with each other via signaling molecules in multicellular organisms. Target cells have receptors on their cell surfaces and in the […]
Difference Between Endosymbiosis and Symbiosis
The key difference between endosymbiosis and symbiosis is that endosymbiosis is a theory that describes how mitochondria and chloroplasts entered eukaryotic cells while symbiosis is a long term interaction existing between two different living species. Organisms in an ecosystem interact with each other in different ways. Symbiosis is an interaction that exists between two different […]
Difference Between Desmosomes and Hemidesmosomes
The key difference between desmosomes and hemidesmosomes is that the desmosomes directly form the cell to cell adhesions, while the hemidesmosomes form adhesions between cells and the basement membrane. Cell to cell adhesions and cell junctions are important to maintain the integrity of a particular tissue and for enabling the cell to cell signalling mechanisms. […]
Difference Between Uniparental Disomy and Genomic Imprinting
The key difference between uniparental disomy and genomic imprinting is that uniparental disomy refers to multiple sets of processes such as receiving two copies of the chromosome or a part of the chromosome while genomic imprinting refers to the process where one copy of the gene is inactivated. Uniparental disomy and genomic imprinting are rare […]
Difference Between Internal Receptors and Cell Surface Receptors
The key difference between internal receptors and cell surface receptors is that internal receptors are present in the cytoplasm and respond to hydrophobic ligands that enter the cell across the plasma membrane while cell surface receptors are present on the cell membrane and respond to external ligands that do not travel across the cell membrane. […]
Difference Between Rho Dependent and Rho Independent Termination
The key difference between Rho dependent and Rho independent termination is that in Rho dependent termination, Rho factor binds with the transcript and terminates transcription by breaking hydrogen bonds between the template and the transcript, while Rho independent termination terminates the transcription by producing a hairpin loop structure and then U rich region in the […]
