What's the difference between populate and populous?

Populate


Definition:

  • (a.) Populous.
  • (v. t.) To furnish with inhabitants, either by natural increase or by immigration or colonization; to cause to be inhabited; to people.
  • (v. i.) To propagate.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Apparently, the irradiation with visible light of a low intensity creates an additional proton gradient and thus stimulates a new replication and division cycle in the population of cells whose membranes do not have delta pH necessary for the initiation of these processes.
  • (2) Injection of resistant mice with Salmonella typhimurium did not result in the induction of a population of macrophages that expressed I-A continuously.
  • (3) However, medicines have an important part to play, and it is now generally agreed that for the very poor populations medicines should be restricted to those on an 'essential drugs list' and should be made available as cheaply as possible.
  • (4) Models able to describe the events of cellular growth and division and the dynamics of cell populations are useful for the understanding of functional control mechanisms and for the theoretical support for automated analysis of flow cytometric data and of cell volume distributions.
  • (5) In some cervical nodes, a few follicles, lymphocyte clusters, and a well-developed plasmocyte population were also present.
  • (6) The constitution of chromosomes in the two plasmacytomas remained remarkably stable in their homogeneous modal population.
  • (7) For the first time it was organized on the basis of population.
  • (8) We have investigated the increase in the spcDNA population upon cycloheximide treatment of individual sequences, which are found to amplify differentially.
  • (9) However, ticks, which failed to finish their feeding and represent a disproportionately great part of the whole parasite's population, die together with them and the parasitic system quickly restores its stability.
  • (10) The fluctuations in [Ca2+]i measured with fura-2 were synchronized among the population of cells observed and were sensitive to extracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]o).
  • (11) The populations of Asia-Oceania have some features of the class II RFLPs in common, which are distinctly different from Caucasoids.
  • (12) The purpose of the present study was to report on remaining teeth and periodontal conditions in a population of 200 adolescent and adult Vietnamese refugees.
  • (13) No significant change occurred in the bacterial population of our hospital unit during the period of the study (more than 3 years).
  • (14) 119 representatives of this population were checked in their sexual contacts; of these, 13 persons proved to be infected with HIV.
  • (15) Two small populations of GLY + neurons were observed outside of the named nuclei of the SOC; one was located dorsal to the LSO, near its dorsal hilus, and the other was identified near the medial pole of the LSO.
  • (16) In addition to the aqueduct other associated inner ear anomalies have been identified in 60% of this population including: enlarged vestibule (14); enlarged vestibule and lateral semicircular canal (7); enlarged vestibule and hypoplastic cochlea (4); and hypoplastic cochlea (4).
  • (17) Wages for the population as a whole are £1,600 a year worse off than five years ago.
  • (18) The direct monocyte source is not sufficient to insure the stability of this population.
  • (19) Despite a 10-year deadline to have the same number of ethnic minority officers in the ranks as in the populations they serve, the target was missed and police are thousands of officers short.
  • (20) We therefore enumerated the percentage of Leu2a+ cells as well as the occurrence of HLA-DR activation markers within this population.

Populous


Definition:

  • (a.) Abounding in people; full of inhabitants; containing many inhabitants in proportion to the extent of the country.
  • (a.) Popular; famous.
  • (a.) Common; vulgar.
  • (a.) Numerous; in large number.
