Cyclic Photophosphorylation vs Non-cyclic Photophosphorylation Difference between Cyclic and Non Cyclic Photophosphorylation: The process of photosynthesis is completed in two main steps – Light reaction and Dark reaction. The Light reaction is the light-dependent reaction where the assimilatory powers (ATP and reduced coenzymes) are generated in the grana of chloroplasts. […]
Respiration vs Photorespiration Difference between Respiration and Photorespiration: Photorespiration is a type of respiration process occurs in plants in presence of light and at higher concentrations of oxygen. The photorespiration is also called C2 cycle or glycolate metabolism since the first stable product of the photorespiration reaction is a 2 […]
Micronutrients vs Macronutrients Difference between Micronutrients and Macronutrients: Nutrients are chemical substances required for the proper growth and functioning of all living organisms including plants and animals. The nutrients are also called essential elements because, in the absence of these chemicals, plants and animals cannot complete their life cycle. Important […]
Plants absorb minerals as ions Mineral Absorption in Plants: Plants absorb minerals from the soil in the form of inorganic ions. Earlier it was thought that the absorption of minerals takes place in plants along with the absorption of water. In fact, the process of mineral absorption and water absorption […]
Endonuclease vs Exonuclease Nucleases are a class of enzyme which hydrolyzes the nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA. They hydrolyze the phosphodiester backbone which connects individual nucleotides in a polynucleotide. There are two broad categories of nucleases depending upon their site and mode of action on the nucleic acid. […]
