What is the Difference between Cellular Respiration and Gaseous Exchange?
The basic difference between cellular respiration and gaseous exchange is that cellular respiration takes place within the cell, while Gaseous exchange is the process that takes place in the Organs. More Differences between Gaseous exchange and Cellular Respiration are given…

Examples of Fats
Fats are organic substances, that is, their molecules are composed mainly of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms. They are the classes of lipids that contain fatty acids. For example peanuts, tuna, margarine, and butter. Here we refer to all lipids that contain fatty acids. However, lipids that are in a solid…

Difference between Anabolism and Catabolism with Examples
Metabolism (a collection of chemical reactions that occur in all living things) is made up of two chemical processes: anabolism and catabolism. These mechanisms are opposite but complementary in that they are mutually dependent and allow cells to operate and…

What are 4 types of Biomolecules?
Biomolecules are the molecules found in all living organisms. Biomolecules are the building blocks of all living things, regardless of their size. For instance, ketones, collagen, and DNA. Each molecule (which makes up a biomolecule) is composed of atoms from…

Types of antigens
Antigens are big protein molecules that are found on the surface of pathogens like bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other foreign particles. When dangerous chemicals enter the body, the immune system responds by producing antibodies. Common types of antigens are Endogenous…

Spermatogenesis
During the process of spermatogenesis, which takes place in the testes, male gametes called sperm are formed. The formation of gametes, cells responsible for reproduction, is a process generically called gametogenesis. When the process occurs for the formation of the male gamete,…

Difference between Mitosis and Meiosis
The main differences between mitosis and meiosis are in the number of daughter cells formed and the number of chromosomes they have. The difference between mitosis and meiosis lies in the fact that, although they are cell division processes, they generate a different number of daughter cells, which…

Unicellular Organisms and Multicellular Organisms
The basic difference between Unicellular Organisms and Multicellular Organisms is that Unicellular organisms are those that are made up of a single cell, for example, bacteria and yeasts; multicellular organisms are those that are made up of two or more cells,…

Transgenic Foods in Everyday life
Transgenic foods are those that have in their composition at least one ingredient that comes from an organism to which genetic modifications or techniques were applied, that is, that is not typical of the original species. Common examples of Transgenic foods are…
