The key difference between cytotoxicity and genotoxicity is that cytotoxicity is the quality of being toxic to cells while genotoxicity is the ability to damage DNA and/or the cellular apparatus that regulates the fidelity of the genome. Cytotoxicity and genotoxicity are two qualities of chemical agents or drugs. Cytotoxicity is the quality of being toxic […]
Difference Between Graham’s Law of Effusion and Diffusion
The key difference between Graham’s law of effusion and diffusion is that Graham’s law of effusion is applied for a gas that passes through an opening that is smaller than the gas particles whereas Graham’s law of diffusion is applied for gas molecules that disperse throughout a container. Graham’s law states that the rate of […]
Difference Between Microglia and Macroglia
The key difference between microglia and macroglia is that microglia are the immune cells of the central nervous system that protect it against injuries and diseases while microglia are neuronal supportive cells which mainly provide nutrient support, maintain brain metabolism and homeostasis, and produce myelin sheath around axons. Glial cells or neuroglia are the most […]
Difference Between Cathodic Protection and Sacrificial Protection
The key difference between cathodic protection and sacrificial protection is that cathodic protection is the process of protecting a metal surface by making it the cathode in the electrochemical cell whereas sacrificial protection involves the protection of the desired metal surface by a sacrificial anode. Cathodic protection and sacrificial protection are two related electrochemical processes. […]
Difference Between Amide and Peptide Bond
The key difference between amide and peptide bond is that an amide bond forms between a hydroxyl group and an amino group of two molecules whereas a peptide bond forms between two amino acid molecules during the formation of a peptide chain. Amide bonds and peptide bonds are biochemical bonds that form between a carbon […]
Difference Between Tautomerism and Metamerism
The key difference between tautomerism and metamerism is that tautomerism refers to the dynamic equilibrium between two compounds having the same molecular formula whereas metamerism refers to structural isomerism in which different alkyl groups are attached to the same functional group. Isomerism is the existence of chemical compounds having the same structural formula but different […]
Difference Between Astrocytes and Oligodendrocytes
The key difference between astrocytes and oligodendrocytes is that astrocytes are the most common type of glial cells in the central nervous system and they form the blood brain barrier and regulate chemicals around the neurons while oligodendrocytes are the glial cells that synthesize the myelin sheath around the axons of the central nervous system […]
Difference Between Primary and Secondary Allylic Carbocations
The key difference between primary and secondary allylic carbocations is that primary allylic carbocation is less stable than secondary allylic carbocation. An allylic carbocation is a resonance stabilized carbon structure. It is an ion containing a positive charge. In these ions, the positive ion is placed on the allylic carbon atom (an allylic carbon atom […]
Difference Between Apical and Radial Pulse
The key difference between apical and radial pulse is that apical pulse is a pulse site situated on the left side of the chest, over the apex of the heart, while radial pulse is one of the peripheral pulse sites located on the lateral of the wrist. The heart is the organ that pumps blood […]
Difference Between Spinel and Inverse Spinel Structure
The key difference between spinel and inverse spinel structure is that in spinel structure, B ions occupy half the octahedral holes while A ions occupy 1/8th of the tetrahedral holes whereas, in inverse spinel structure, all A cations and half of the B cations occupy octahedral sites and the other half of B cations occupy […]
