Differentiate between the following pairs on the basis

Basic Biology (10)

Differentiate between the following pairs on the basis of what is mentioned in brackets:

  1. Active Transport and Diffusion [significance in plants]
  2. Demography and Population density [Definition]
  3. Antibiotic and Antibody [Source]
  4. Renal cortex and Renal medulla [Parts of the nephrons present]
  5. NADP and ATP [Expand the abbreviation]

Answer

  1. Active Transport – To absorb mineral ions from soil.
    Diffusion – To take in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and oxygen for respiration /
    Removal of Water vapour during transpiration / attract insects for pollination by spreading fragrance of flowers.
  2. Demography – Statistical study of human population with reference to size, density and distribution.
    Population density – Number of individuals per square km at any given time.
  3. Antibiotic – Micro organisms
    Antibody – Lymphocytes
  4. Renal Cortex – Malpighian capsule, Proximal and distal convoluted tubules
    Renal medulla – Loop Henle, Collecting ducts
  5. NADP – Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate
    ATP – Adenosine Tri Phosphate
