Nothing... A graphic card is a graphic adapter. A card usually specifies an adapter that is removable in a card slot, when the adapter can also be on the mother board. A graphics card is a graphic adapter, but not all graphics adapters are cards

Can you add a graphics card to a laptop by replacing a laptop component like the wifi card or hard drive etc. I have a Toshiba l855 with integrated graphics?

The straight and simple answer is no. Laptops are not akin to desktops in which they can be upgraded as one wishes. The integrated graphics in your Toshiba is the best you will get from that machine internally. The only other option you have is an external video adapter which attaches through USB but you will not get high-performance graphics out of that to a level at which you can play a game, for example. If you want a gaming laptop, then you need to get a gaming laptop.
