Reason: The difference between 'demand' / 'supply' and 'quantity demanded'/ 'quantity supplied' is that demand/ supply is a function of quantity and price. It indicates how much will be demanded/ supplied at any (or every) price. It is a linear or non-linear curve. Whereas quantity demanded/ quantity supplied is increase or decrease in the quantity that a consumer is willing to buy/ a producer is willing to supply given a particular price. It is a single number.
