Macbeth takes them more seriously than Banquo. There is nothing Banquo could do anyway to make his children become kings without him becoming a king himself. But Banquo, despite his lighthearted reaction to the witches, does not forget them. In Act II Scene 1 he says to Macbeth, "I dreamt last night of the three weird sisters. To you they have shown some truth." So perhaps there is not such a difference between their reactions after all.

The difference between the witches' predictions for Macbeth and those for Banquo are that the ones for Macbeth are being fulfilled even as they speak, whereas Banquo's will not happen in his lifetime. There is no incentive for Banquo to try to hurry them on; there is such an incentive for Macbeth. It is this and not their reactions which send Macbeth and Banquo down separate paths in the play.

What is the key difference between fission and fusion reactions in terms of energy release?

The key difference between fission and fusion reactions in terms of energy release is that fission reactions involve the splitting of heavy atomic nuclei, releasing energy, while fusion reactions involve the combining of light atomic nuclei, also releasing energy.

What is the difference between the light dependent and the dark reactions of the Calvin cycle?

The light-dependent reactions of the Calvin cycle require light to occur and take place in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast. These reactions generate ATP and NADPH. In contrast, the dark reactions (Calvin-Benson cycle) occur in the stroma of the chloroplast and use ATP and NADPH from the light-dependent reactions to fix carbon dioxide and produce sugars.

What is the difference between anabolic reactions and catabolic reactions in terms of their impact on cellular metabolism?

Anabolic reactions build molecules and require energy, while catabolic reactions break down molecules and release energy. Anabolic reactions help cells grow and repair, while catabolic reactions provide energy for cellular processes.
