A diode is basically a electronic non return valve it let current flow in one direction only and can not be used for amplification it only consist of a cathode and anode, where the transistor can be used in many applications, for instance as an amplifier, electronic switch, oscillator etc. it consist of three connections eg. Collector, Emitter and a Base normally the current is collected at the Collector and emitted at the Emitter and the Base is used to control the current flow with the Base at 0 volt no or very little current will flow between C and E it will only switch on with the B at about 2.7volt and the higher the B voltage the more current will flow thru the transistor
0a79 ( germanium diode )in glass construction form is used in AM detector circuits.
no we not use resistance in place of diode.
A diode typically has two electrodes: the anode and the cathode. These electrodes allow current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the opposite direction. This unidirectional behavior is what makes diodes essential components in various electronic circuits.
Bipolar Transistors and Diode's .
It is considered a diode, a Light Emitting Diode (LED).
Such a diode only lets current pass in one direction. It is used in a variety of electronic circuits. One possible application is as a first step to convert AC to DC.
Simple electronic circuits are used in simple electronic devices.
The main use of transistors in electronic circuits is as switches and memory storage
A Zener diode regulates voltage in electronic circuits by allowing current to flow in reverse when the voltage exceeds a certain threshold, maintaining a constant output voltage. This helps stabilize the voltage and protect sensitive components from damage.

Not sure of your context. A diode is a diode. One artificial distinction might be that an electric diode refers to a diode used in a higher power application with more current where an electronic diode might be found on a circuit board as part of an electronic lower power application.
there are many uses. one major use i remember is in rectification i.e convert ac to dc For switch operation
A diode is primarily considered a passive electronic component, not strictly classified as an input or output device. It allows current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the opposite direction, functioning as a rectifier in circuits. Its role can influence both input and output behaviors in electronic systems, depending on how it is used within a circuit.
Application of Pn junction diode is a very vast topic itself. It is used in almost every electronic circuits.diodes are used to build half wave and full wave rectifiers.they are used to convet AC to DC.
An electronic component composed of two layers of a semiconductor material is a diode.
