Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is a chronic medical condition that is characterized by increased pressure within the arteries that carry blood from the heart to the rest of the body.

There are two types of hypertension: primary hypertension and secondary hypertension. In this article, we will discuss the difference between primary and secondary hypertension. What is Primary Hypertension? Primary hypertension, also known as essential ... Read More

Parasites and saprophytes are two types of organisms that obtain nutrients from other sources. Parasites derive nutrition from living organisms, while saprophytes extract nutrients from dead and decaying organic matter. Although both types of organisms rely on other sources for their nutrition, there are significant differences between parasites and saprophytes that are important to understand. What are Parasites? Parasite is an organism that lives on or in another organism (called host), using it as a source of food and a place of temporary or permanent residence. The host does not benefit from cohabitation but may suffer harm. In some cases, ... Read More
Parasites and predators are both known to prey on other creatures in order to ensure their own existence. One of the most widespread types of human parasites, hook worms, feeds on human blood after attaching to the intestinal wall. Moreover, tigers, being the apex predator in their ecosystem, prey upon smaller creatures like as hares, porcupines, and deer. Whereas predators are normally larger, quicker, and/or stronger than their prey, parasites are frequently smaller and weaker than their hosts. In the following paragraphs, we'll go even deeper into the ways in which they differ. What are Parasites? The term "parasite" comes ... Read More
Parasitism is an acquired, secondary type of hostile symbiosis characterised by mutual metabolic dependency between host and parasite. Parasites live off of and feed off of members of different species (called hosts) for extended periods of time. Parasitism serves the parasite but harms the host. What are Parasites? The term "parasite" comes from the Greek words para, which means "alongside, " and sitos, which means "meal"; "parasitos" means "eating at another person's table." A parasite is another organism which receives nourishment from another organism, termed the host. Parasites may or may not cause harm to their hosts, but they never ... Read More
There are over 8.7 million species in the world today, about 1.2 million of which are animal species. Many causes, such as human consumption, pollution, dwindling genetic diversity, and a lack of reproduction, pose serious threats to the survival of many of these species. With about a million pangolins left in the wild, they continue to be the most trafficked mammal in the world. Anteaters are not in danger of extinction at the moment, but habitat loss and poaching have caused significant population declines. There are some similarities between the pangolin and the anteater, but there are also ... Read More

As people age, they may experience various changes in their physical, emotional, and cognitive functions. However, not all changes in cognitive abilities are considered part of normal aging. Dementia is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects the cognitive function of an individual, leading to severe memory loss, confusion, and difficulty with communication. In contrast, normal aging may cause mild declines in cognitive abilities, but it does not cause significant impairment in daily activities or lead to dementia. This essay will discuss the difference between normal aging and dementia, including their causes, symptoms, and treatment. What is Normal Aging? Normal ... Read More

In this essay, we will discuss the differences between noise and signal in detail. What is Noise? Noise is described as any unwanted sound that is judged as overly loud and disruptive to hear. From a physics point of view, noise is regarded as indistinguishable from the ... Read More
