Both mean having one of something.
But uni- comes from the Latin, and is most often used with Latin-derived words: unicycle, unicorn.
Whereas mono- comes from the Greek, and is best paired with Greek-derived words: monocle, monogamy.

What is the difference between a pinned joint and a fixed joint?
Pinned has a bolt through it, fixed is stuck together with a material such as glue or epoxy.pin revolutejoints provide single-axis rotation function used in many places such as door hinges, folding mechanisms, and other uni-axial rotation devices. and fixed joint can do nothing like rotation..
How do you make a Uni-Ball Signo DX pen have ink when you accidentally dropped it on the floor?
i know how frustrating it can be when that happens for me, when i shake it the other way round, it works
Why does graphite conduct heat even though it is a nonmetal?
Um. I think its because its black and black conducts heat. DON'T TELL YOUR TEACHERS THIS IT'S JUST AN IDEA! Please if you do tell them that its an idea and if you'r old enough to go to uni or collage you should be answering this, not me.
How do you explain the characteristics of laser beam?
Laser beams are normally characterized as focused (the beam size enlarges slowly with distance), intense (don't look into a laser beam), and mono-energetic (single-color light). What is laser? -- laser stands for "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation." What is being stimulated in laser? -- gas, solid-state, semiconductor, dye, chemical etc. Each type of laser has its own characteristics and pros and cons. The origin of laser radiation in a gas laser -- take a gas laser, for example. Argon gas is trapped inside a pressurized tube (low pressure to be exact). The tube's curved wall is coated with metal for reflection. Two flat mirrors are situated at each end of the long cylinder. Energy, in the order of kilowatts, is supplied to ionize the Argon gas. The excited Argon atoms will relax to release light in a very narrow spectrum, in the order of Watts -- very inefficient indeed. The mirrors and shiny curved wall are to keep the light generated to be trapped inside the tube intentionally, so that the lasing action can be amplified. The mirror at the "business" end has a small opening to allow light to escape. Hence the exiting laser beam is more or less uni-directional (focused). The light coming out of an Argon gas ranges from red to UV, but a filter at the exit can narrow the spectrum further to mono-chromatic. The filtered single-frequency light has little dispersion (photons will be traveling at about the same speed and few interference). The light is so intense and concentrated (~ 1 W over a beam size of 0.1 cm^2) that looking into a laser beam is detrimental to your eyes. Looking into a key-chain laser is not advisable either. Please see the related link for more details. ==============================
Is multi-mono-tri- examples of number prefixes?
No, "multi," "mono," and "tri" are not number prefixes. "Multi-" means many or multiple, "mono-" means one, and "tri-" means three. The number prefixes in English include "uni-" (one), "bi-" (two), "quad-" (four), "pent-" (five), and so on.

What is the difference between Uni and multi processer operating systems?
'Uni' is the opposite of 'multi', like 'Uniform' is the opposite of 'Multiform'.These are prefix 'Uni' and 'multi'.'Uni' is singular and 'Multi' is plural.Therefore, 'Uni operating system' is a system operated by one particular thing and 'Multi operating' system is operated by many such things that are used in 'Uni operating system'
What Greek and Latin prefix mean the same?
uni (latin) mono (greek) both of them mean one
What prefixes mean one?
The prefix meaning one, or single, is uni, as in a unicycle, which has only one wheel. Bi means two, as in a bicycle, which has two wheels. Tri means three, as in a tricycle, which has three wheels. To take it one step further, quad means four, as in a quad cane, which is a walking cane with four legs.
What is are some words that mean one?
uni, uno, mono, and other greek, latin and spanish words mean one.
Prefix for one?
Prefix for 'one'. Uni' as in unicycle; a cycle with only one wheel . or 'Mono' as in 'monatomic' ; only one atom]. Or Monarch ; One Ruler.
