Active transport vs passive transport

Active transport and Passive Transport are the processes by which molecule transport across the membrane. The main difference between the Active transport and passive transports required energy to occur the process and concentration gradient.

	Active transport	Passive transport
requirement of energy	Active transport requires the energy to movement of the molecule.	Passive transport does not require the energy.
concentration	Active transport happens against the concentration gradient.	Passive transport happens along with the concern gradient.
Example	Endocytosis , Exocytosis and sodium-potassium pump	facilitated transport, diffusion, and osmosis.
Molecule transport	Active transport pass the large molecule against the concentration gradient	Passive transport pass He small molecule along with concern
Selectivity	Active transport is highly selective.	Passive transport is not selective
Inhibition	Metabolic inhibitor may inhibit the active transport	Metabolic inhibitor does not affect the passive transport.
Speed	Active transport is rapid process.	Passive transport is a slow process.

difference between Haemoglobin and Myoglobin

Haemoglobin and the myoglobin are two molecules in our body which carry the oxygen in our body. But there so many difference between the Haemoglobin and myoglobin. There is physical and the chemical difference between the Haemoglobin and myoglobin. 

Following the difference between the Haemoglobin and the Myoglobin

	Haemoglobin	Myoglobin
Nature	Haemoglobin contain four polypeptide chain	Myoglobin is single polypeptide chain.
Structure	It has tetramer Structure.	It has monomer structure.
Binding	Haemoglobin bind with four oxygen molecules	Myoglobin bind with only single Molecule
Binding affinity	Haemoglobin have high affinity to bind with oxygen (Tightly bind with the oxygen)	Myoglobin have less affinity to bind with  oxygen
Availability	Haemoglobin found in blood	Myoglobin found in muscles.
Function	Haemoglobin provide the oxygen to the every cell of the body,	Myoglobin  provide the oxygen to the muscles cells.
Known as	Hb	Mb

Osmolarity VS Osmolality

Osmolarity and the Osmolality is the difference term used to express the concentration of the solution. But there is difference between the Osmolarity and Osmolality.

Following are the difference between Osmolarity and Osmolality.

	Osmolarity	Osmolality
Definition	Osmolarity is defined as the  concentration of a solution expressed in terms of osmoles of solute particles.	Osmolality is defined as the concentration of a solution expressed in terms of the total number of solute particles.
Unit	Particles per liter of solution	Particles per kilogram
	mmol/L.	mOsmol/kg.
Factor affect	It depends on the temperature and pressure.	It does not happen on the temperature and Pressure.

Difference between Diffusion and Effusion

Difference between Diffusion and Effusion

Diffusion and effusion both terms defined the movement of the molecule. But the main difference between the diffusion and effusion is the type of the molecule which moved.

Following are the main difference between Diffusion and effusion

Diffusion:

-The movement of the solute from higher concentration to the lower concentration until the equilibrium established.

-Diffusion occurs in gas, liquid and solid particle.

-The diffusion rate depends on the concentration gradient and the amount of surface area available for diffusion. 

-Collision occurs among the molecule 

Effusion:

-The movement of gases from the small hole known as the effusion.

-Effusion occurs in only gaseous molecule.

-Effusion rates both depend on the molar mass of the gas involved, their rates are not equal.

    - There is no any Collision occur among the molecule

Difference between Osmosis and Reverse Osmosis

Difference between Osmosis and Reverse Osmosis

Osmosis and the reverse osmosis are the two phenomenon in which occurs due to the movement of the solvent. The main difference between Osmosis and the reverse osmosis is direction of the movement of the solvent and the pressure applied.

Here, following are the difference between the Osmosis and reverse osmosis.

	Osmosis	Reverse Osmosis
Definition	Osmosis is defined as the movement of a solvent through a semi permeable membrane to lower concentration to higher concentration.	Reverse osmosis is defined as the movement of the solvent through the semi permeable membrane from higher concentration to lower concentration with pressure
movement	The solvent transfer from lower concentration to higher concentration	The solvent transfer from higher concentration to the lower concentration.
Pressure	Pressure is not required	Pressure is required then only reverse osmosis is possible. Applied pressure on higher concentration.
Example	Movement of water in root	Purification of the water.
Process	It naturally occurs.	It is simulated process
Energy	Energy is not required for the process	Energy is required for the process.

Difference between Blood and Plasma

Blood and plasma are the two different elements. Plasma is the component of the blood. Plasma is approximately % of the blood complement. There are so many differences between blood and Plasma.

Following are the difference between Blood and Plasma

	Blood	Plasma
Definition	Blood is the fluid in our body which transport nutrient and the oxygen to the different cell of the body.	Plasma is the yellow colour fluid; left after removal of blood cells which constitutes 55% of blood part.
Component	Blood is composed of plasma, blood cells(red blood, White blood, and platelets)	Plasma composed of the water, protein, nutrient, electrolyte, and gases.
Colour	Red Colour fluid	Light yellow colour liquid
Donation	Blood donation is very common	Plasma donation is less common.
Treatment	Blood is directly collected from the vein.	For Plasma collection special machine and treatment are required.
