What's the difference between circumnutate and circumnutation?
Circumnutate
Definition:
(v. i.) To pass through the stages of circumnutation.
Example Sentences:
(1) Interaction into the plant between two ultradian rhythms (shoot circumnutation and ultradian leaf movement) with the same period and coexistence in the pulvinus of an ultradian with a circadian rhythm are discussed.
(2) Shoot circumnutation and ultradian leaf movements displayed the same period (80 min at 25 degrees C and Q10 congruent to 2), while the period of the circadian leaf movements was not temperature dependent (Q10 congruent to 1).
(3) Although the ultradian rhythms of shoot circumnutation and leaf movement, as well as the circadian rhythm of leaf movement, occurred simultaneously, each rhythm could be expressed independently of the other two.
Circumnutation
Definition:
(n.) The successive bowing or bending in different directions of the growing tip of the stems of many plants, especially seen in climbing plants.
