The difference is the position of the double bond

There are many animals types that contain beta-carotene. Shrimp do have beta carotene, along with many types of algae.
Alpha-Carotene ( also known as α-carotene ) is a conformation of carotene with a β-ring at one end and an ε-ring at the other.* The term Carotene is used to describe classes of molecules having the formula C40H56. * Beta-Carotene is widely publicized and has shown many health benefits in recent studies. It cannot be made by animals, only plants.* It appears as an orange pigment and is protects plant cells against the damaging effects of ultraviolet light. Carrots, cantaloupes, and sweet potatoes are good sources of Beta-Carotene. Beta-Carotene is also an antioxidant. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carotene#The_multiple_forms

No, clover does not contain beta carotene. Beta carotene is typically found in orange and dark green vegetables and fruits like carrots, sweet potatoes, and spinach. Clovers, on the other hand, are part of the legume family and do not contain significant amounts of beta carotene.
The formula for carotene can be found on Wikipedia, which lists it as C40Hx and mentions the different kinds of carotene in existence, mainly alpha and beta.
A brief explanation of the difference between beta and alpha test is that alpha test is usually in-house and is part of basic development. Beta test is right before product release and typically includes customer input.
alpha naphthol with CCl4(carbon tetrachloride) gives blue colour whereas beta naphthol with CCl4 gives no colour. that is the distinction test between alpha and beta naphthol.
Golden rice produces significantly more beta-carotene (a precursor of vitamin A) than other varieties of rice. The beta-carotene also gives golden rice its distinctive color.
Alpha is the first Greek letter. It can also mean the first in importance. Beta is the second Greek letter. It can also mean the second in importance.
Beta carotene is important for proper eye nutrition.

Not exactly. The body will convert Beta Carotene into Vitamin A when it is needed. That's why Beta Carotene is the preferred and safer version of Vitamin A... you can overdose on pure Vitamin A easier than you can on Beta Carotene
The chemical formula for beta-carotene is C40H56
Natural Beta-carotene is used in health care in two ways: As Pro -Vitamin A, which is due to its ability to be converted to Vitamin A as and when the body requires, and as an antioxidant, which protects against cell and tissue damage by scavenging free radicals. This dual function of Natural Beta-carotene is due to the presence of Cis and Trans Beta-carotene isomers. Synthetic Beta-Carotene has only All-trans Beta-carotene. This inherent disadvantage of synthetic Beta-carotene has led many users to use Dunaliella, which is the best source of Natural Beta-Carotene with a high Cis-Trans Beta-carotene ratio (25:75).
Studies have shown that beta-carotene has no effect on cancer
