What's the difference between endwise and lengthwise?

Endwise


Definition:

  • (adv.) On end; erectly; in an upright position.
  • (adv.) With the end forward.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) A hypothesis to explain the phenomenon of synergism between two endwise-acting cellobiohydrolases is presented.
  • (2) As the enzyme seems to hydrolyse xylooligosaccharides endwise, with retention of configuration in the reaction product, the enzyme is a true glycosidase, probably operating by a double-inversion mechanism.
  • (3) R. japonicum 31 cells attached to each other in a tip-to-tip fashion and endwise to fungal hyphae with the polar tip in contact with the hyphal wall.
  • (4) Various dehydrogenation polymers (the so-called synthetic lignins) were synthesized from four different phenylpropenoids by endwise and bulk polymerizations and investigated for their anti-influenza virus activity.
  • (5) Our results suggest that the free Ca2+ concentration regulates the way S-100 disassembles microtubules (MTs): at microM Ca2+ levels, S-100 sequesters tubulin with concomitant increase in the disassembly rate; at mM Ca2+ levels, the S-100-Ca2+ complex probably interacts with MTs producing endwise disassembly.
  • (6) When polymers are induced to depolymerize by endwise subunit dissociation, the frequency of plugged microtubule ends increases transiently, suggesting that plugs temporarily stabilize microtubules.
  • (7) The model is based on Michaelis--Menten-type kinetics for concurrent random and endwise attack of the substrate involving end-product inhibitions and three types of enzymes: an endo-beta-1,4-glucanase, an exo-beta-1,4-glucanase, and beta-glucosidase.

Lengthwise


Definition:

  • (adv.) In the direction of the length; in a longitudinal direction.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The organic specificity of the metaepiphyseal borderline zone depends, first of all, on its intermediate position between the cartilage, fulfilling further bone growth lengthwise as an organ, and a developing endochondral bone substituting cartilage in the epiphysis.
  • (2) The hypothesis is put forward that the energy (ATP), provided by the mitochondria over adhering junctional complexes, would produce separate fields of force which would position in a lengthwise direction the molecules which give rise to the anchoring filaments.
  • (3) These tissues contributed to the lengthwise extension of the limb and to the partial restoration of the distal humeral extremity.
  • (4) 1 handful of basil leaves 1 cucumber, cut in half lengthwise ½ lime, zest and pith removed 1 apple, cut into wedges Starting with the basil, juice everything into a glass.
  • (5) They ran lengthwise in the core of the odontoblast process, which showed a different distribution compared with that of actin filaments.
  • (6) In one, used mainly by aborigines, fresh areca nut was simply wrapped with betel leaf and in another, popular mainly among Chinese, a lengthwise piece of betel fruit and lime paste was sandwiched between two halves of an areca nut.
  • (7) In the isthmus area we noticed longitudinal ridging and cuticular scales that are extended lengthwise in a fish-scale-like pattern.
  • (8) Their solution properties are best described as the lengthwise arrangement of a protease domain of diameter 4 nm, two "short consensus repeat" domains, each of length 4 nm, and an N-terminal globular entity of length 6 nm containing the first three protein domains.
  • (9) The models meet the following criteria: fibrin monomers have the three-domain Hall and Slayter structure; the monomers are arranged lengthwise into strands (protofibrils) in which successive monomers half overlap; the monomers' alignment is nearly parallel to the fiber axis; and the monomers make adequate longitudinal and lateral contacts, as required by observed fiber properties and the high affinity of monomers for one another.
  • (10) Our results suggest that the 150 nm cortex of condensed tmx expands lengthwise, while decreasing in the thickness, to form the outer shell of extended tmx, and the core expands in length without decreasing in diameter to form the inside structure of the extended tmx.
  • (11) In the course of stress lengthwise there is the development of extension of the Haversian canal supporting the blood flow in the capillary.
  • (12) Both strips were applied lengthwise across a paper card (3 by 5 in.
  • (13) The crystals are initially small but expanded lengthwise eventually to fill the vesicle that contains them.
  • (14) The method involves establishing a lyotrope concentration gradient in a liquid crystal lengthwise in an x-ray capillary tube.
  • (15) The sarcocysts in sheep measured 35.7 to 500 microns lengthwise and the cyst-wall 2.4 microns.
  • (16) When the ionic strength is increased the rods align lengthwise into intertwined fiber-like structures.
  • (17) In the course of stress in the osteon lengthwise there are developing pressure, torsion and bending strains.
  • (18) Mandibular growth was significantly reduced lengthwise in animals glossectomized at age 12 weeks.
  • (19) The straight-cut wire tips are aligned lengthwise and have a relative spacing of 150 microns.
  • (20) An indefinite exclusion threshold, evident even with monodisperse sugars, was attributed to lengthwise orientation of the penetrating rod-shaped molecules.
