The key difference between reversible and irreversible inhibition is that the reversible inhibition is a type of enzyme inhibition in which dissociation of the inhibitor from the enzyme-inhibitor complex is possible due to non-covalent binding. On the other hand, irreversible inhibition is a type of enzyme inhibition in which dissociation of the inhibitor from the […]
Difference Between Esterase and Lipase
The key difference between esterase and lipase is that the esterase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes water-soluble short acyl chain esters while the lipase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes water-insoluble long chain triacylglycerols. Hydrolases are enzymes that catalyze essentially, the hydrolysis of organic compounds. In the field of lipids and fat digestion and hydrolysis, there […]
Difference Between Endothelium and Mesothelium
The key difference between endothelium and mesothelium is that the endothelium is the simple squamous epithelial cell layer that lines the entire circulatory system including blood vessels, lymph vessels and the heart while the mesothelium is the simple squamous epithelial cell layer that lines major body cavities such as the peritoneum, pleura and pericardium. Epithelium, […]
Difference Between Epistatic Gene and Hypostatic Gene
The key difference between epistatic gene and hypostatic gene is that the epistatic gene is a gene that influences the expression of another gene at a different locus while the hypostatic gene is the gene that subjects into the interference of the epistatic gene. Certain genes depend on other non-allelic genes for their expressions. Epistasis […]
Difference Between C1 and C2
The key difference between C1 and C2 is that the C1 or the atlas vertebra is the most superior vertebra of the human vertebral column while the C2 or the axis vertebra is the second topmost vertebra of the human vertebral column. The vertebral column is the bony segmented structure that provides protection to the […]
Difference Between ELISA and Rapid Test
The key difference between ELISA and Rapid test is that the ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) is a highly specific sophisticated plate based immunoassay technique while the rapid test is a quick, easy to perform, less sophisticated immune-based screening that utilizes the same technique of ELISA. HIV tests detect the presence of human immunodeficiency virus ((HIV) […]
Difference Between Epithelium and Endothelium
The key difference between epithelium and endothelium is that the epithelium is the tissue that lines the outer surfaces of organs and blood vessels, as well as the inner surfaces of cavities in many internal organs while the endothelium is the tissue that lines the interior surface of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels. A tissue […]
Difference Between Phase I and Phase II Metabolism
The key difference between phase I and phase II metabolism is that the phase I metabolism converts a parent drug to polar active metabolites while phase II metabolism converts a parent drug to polar inactive metabolites. Metabolism (drug metabolism) is the anabolic and catabolic breakdown of drugs by living organisms. Hence, drug metabolism is an […]
Difference Between Biosphere and Lithosphere
The key difference between biosphere and lithosphere is that the biosphere is a part of the crust and atmosphere that support living matter while the lithosphere is the solid shell of the Earth that includes the crust and part of the uppermost mantle. There are four main spheres in the Planet Earth such as hydrosphere, […]
Difference Between Sieve Cells and Sieve Tubes
The key difference between sieve cells and sieve tubes is that the sieve cells are less specialized sieve elements that lack sieve plates and present in seedless vascular plants and gymnosperms while the sieve tubes are highly specialized sieve elements that have sieve plates and present in angiosperms. Vascular plants possess vascular bundles comprised mainly […]
