Differences Between Type I Error and Type II Error

Published on: May 21, 2024 by BNO Team

Type 1 error in tests of statistical hypotheses, refers to the mistake that is caused by refusing to accept a null hypothesis even though it’s true. Type 1 errors occur when a hypothesis that ought to be accepted was rejected. Type I errors are identified by an (alpha) also known as an error. It is also known as the significance level that the tests. This type of error can be described as a false negative error in which it is impossible to prove the hypothesis due to an error in the test.

Difference between O antigen and H antigen – O vs H antigen

Published on: May 21, 2024 by BNO Team

O antigen and H antigen are different in that O is the bacteria’s outermost layer, while H is the flagella’s threadlike structure.

Differences between Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum

Published on: May 21, 2024 by BNO Team

Plasmodium viridax, a protozoal parasite, is a human pathogen. This parasite is the most common and widespread cause of recurring malaria. P. viridax malaria can cause severe illness and death. It is more virulent than Plasmodium falciparum (the most deadly of the five human malaria parasites), but it can be fatal. P. viritax is transmitted by the female Anopheles mosquito. The males don’t bite.

Differences between Anthrax bacilli and Anthracoid bacilli

Published on: May 21, 2024 by BNO Team

Bacillus anthracis, a Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium, causes anthrax. This is a deadly disease that can infect livestock and humans. It is the only permanent (obligated) pathogen in the genus Bacillus. Because it can be transmitted from animals to people, its infection is called zoonosis. Robert Koch, a German physician, discovered it in 1876. It became the first pathogen to be experimentally demonstrated. It was also the first scientific proof for germ theory.

Difference between enzymes and hormones – enzymes vs hormones

Published on: May 21, 2024 by BNO Team

Enzymes (or enzymes) are proteins that act like biological catalysts (biocatalysts). Catalysts speed up chemical reactions. Substrates are molecules on which enzymes can act. The enzyme then converts these substrates into other molecules called products. Enzyme catalysis is required for almost all metabolic processes within the cell to occur at sufficient rates to sustain life. 8.1 Metabolic pathways are dependent on enzymes to catalyze individual processes. Enzymology is the study of enzymes. The pseudoenzyme analysis field recognizes that some enzymes lost their ability to catalyze biological reactions during evolution. This is often evident in their amino acid sequences or unusual ‘pseudocatalytical’ properties.

Differences between DNA Replication and Transcription

Published on: May 21, 2024 by BNO Team

DNA replication, in molecular biology is the biological process by which two identical copies of a DNA molecule are created. As the main part of biological inheritance, DNA replication is an essential component in all living organisms. This is necessary for cell division, growth, and repair of damaged tissue. It also ensures that each new cell receives its own copy DNA. Because cells possess the unique property of division, replication of DNA is essential.

Differences between Meningitis and Encephalitis

Published on: May 21, 2024 by BNO Team

Meningitis refers to inflammation of the meninges. Meninges refer to the three membranes covering the brain and spinal chord. When fluid around the meninges becomes contaminated, meningitis may occur.

Differences Between Absorption and Adsorption

Published on: May 21, 2024 by BNO Team

In biology, absorption refers to the procedure of absorbing or assimilating substances within cells or across tissues through the process of diffusion or Osmosis.

Differences Between Acute disease and Chronic Disease

Published on: May 20, 2024 by BNO Team

The duration of time that is for acute diseases is dependent according to the nature of the disease and its context however it is more concise in comparison to chronic illnesses. The term “acute” can also be used to refer to conditions where the onset of symptoms is sudden and happens quickly. In the case of severe disease is usually fulminant when it’s not always true for acute rhinitis. It is commonly associated with the common cold.

Difference Between Biotic and Abiotic Factors – Biotic vs Abiotic Factors

Published on: May 20, 2024 by BNO Team

The biotic factor , also known as the component of the biotic refers to the living thing that creates the ecosystem.
