Differentiate among the following:

Respiration PhotosynthesisRespiration is a catabolic process in whichcompounds are broken down.

Photosynthesis is an Anabolic process inwhich compounds are formed.

In this process the carbohydrates are

broken down into simple sugars.

In this process the carbohydrates are

manufactured.

The end of the product is CO2 and H2O The end product of this process is simplecarbohydrates.

Occur during both day and night. Light isnot necessary for this process.

Occur during day time only. Light isessential for this process.

Energy is released from food material. It is an energy consuming process.

Renewable Resources of Energy Non-Renewable Resources of EnergyRenewable resources are usedcontinuously and can be used again andagain.

Non-renewable resources cannot be usedagain and again after their consumption.

Examples are air, water, soil, wild life,forests, fish etc.

Major examples include coal, oil, naturalgas etc.

Renewable resources are constantlyrenewed by bio-geochemical cycles ofnature.eg: Animals take O2 and return CO2 toenvironment

Non-renewable resources are beingexhausted day by day because theirdemand rises. Due to worldwide demandof fossil fuels; its supplies are declining.

Artery

Vein

1 Arteries are blood vessels which transport blood away from the heart.Veins are the blood vessels which always carry blood towards the heart.2 The inside lumen or bore of the arteries is narrow.

The inside bore or lumen of wins is wide.

3 Arteries carry oxygenated blood with the exception of pulmonary artery.Veins carry deoxygenated blood with the exception of pulmonary vein.

4 The walls of the arteries are more Elastic. The walls of the veins are less elastic.

5. The blood is under great pressure in arteries. The blood is under less pressure in veins.

6 Arteries end in capillaries.Veins start from the

capillaries.

Lymph

Plasma

1 Lymph is the part of the blood which comes out of the blood capillaries.Plasma is that part of the blood which remains inside the blood vessel.

2 The lymph is in direct contact with the tissues.The plasma doesnt have a direct contact with

the tissue.3 The lymph usually contains Bacteria.

Plasma usually does not containBacteria.4 Lymph moves slowly.

Plasma moves quickly.

Laser LightOrdinary

Light1 Laser light is disciplined light. Itis undisciplined light.2 Laser light has photons of same length.Ordinary light has no photons of the same length.3 It can be focused on a very small point.It cannot be focused on a very small point.4 It is coherent light.

It is incoherent light.5 It is used in medicine and for diagnostic purposes.

It has no medical use.
