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 Fluconazole and Itraconazole
The key difference between Fluconazole and Itraconazole is that though both are antifungal medications, fluconazole is not active against Aspergillus whereas Itraconazole is active against Aspergillus. Therefore, itraconazole has a broad range of activity than fluconazole. The trade name of fluconazole is Diflucan, and the trade name of itraconazole is Sporanox. CONTENTS 1. Overview and Key […]
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 […]
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 […]
