Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is a simple expression which relates the pH, pKa and the buffer action of a weak acid and its conjugate base. The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation also describes the characteristic shape of the titration curve of any weak acid such as acetic acid, phosphoric acid, or any amino acid. The […]

Difference between B-Cells and T-Cells – Comparison Table
B-Cells vs T-Cells Difference between B Cells and T Cells: Lymphocytes are the key cells of the immune system and they are responsible for the adaptive immune response of an organism. They are also responsible many of the immunological characteristics such as specificity, diversity, memory and self/non-self recognition. Lymphocytes constitute […]

Difference between the Physiological Response of Auxins and Gibberellins in Plants
Physiological Effects of Auxins vs Gibberellins Physiological Effects of Auxins and Gibberellins in Plants: Auxins and Gibberellins are two major classes of plant hormones. Both hormones significantly influence the growth and various developmental processes in plants such as organogenesis, root initiation, sex expression, flowering etc. The physiological responses of Auxins […]

Immunoglobulins (Antibodies): Structure, Characteristics and Functions
In the previous post, we have discussed the introductory features of antibodies. There we have also discussed the reason for calling Antibodies (Ab) as Immunoglobulins (Ig). In this lesson, we will see the detailed account on Immunoglobulin Structure and Function. What are Immunoglobulins (Ig)? As we discussed earlier, the Antibodies […]

Difference between Flower and Vegetative Shoot
Flower vs Vegetative Branch The flower is the reproductive structure formed in the plant group Angiosperms or Magnoliophyta, commonly called as the ‘Flowering Plants’. The flower is a ‘modified branch’ or axis developed from a ‘determinate’ apical meristem. The term ‘determinate’ indicates the absence of further growth of the apical […]
