Registered and dormant, mode of attendance should be [...]-DOR. This is normally applied to part-time modular students who are not actively studying a module, in comparison to SUSPENSE where a student has requested to suspend their studies.
Not active. In the case of volcanoes - one that is not extinct but has not erupted in historic time.
a kind of sleep time that happens when the weather gets very hot or very cold or in times of drought or other bad living conditions.
Plants with reduced cellular activity; and buds which do not grow away unless stimulated by damage to the shoots or branch system
Describing a state of reduced or suspended biologic activity --in plants in winter months and in seeds before germination.
being in a resting state (not currently growing)
Dormant refers to plants that are living but are not growing. This is typical of seeds, plants that live in temperate regions of the earth, lose their leaves during the winter, and stop growing. In the spring, these plants break dormancy and begin to grow. Seeds break dormancy by soaking up moisture and beginning to send out shoots and roots.
Animals who lie dormant have the right idea: The only thing better than a nap is a nap which lasts all winter. But, at the same time, one doesn't want to be hebetudinous or torpid, does one? See: HIBERNATE, SLEEPY.
usually during autumn and winter when no growing occurs.
Latent but capable of being activated
not actively growing; plants are usually dormant during the winter.
(French, dormire = to sleep) Referring to a stage in the development of a seed, in which growth is suspended until restarted by environmental cues.
"Asleep." Most bacteria stop growth and activity below 40 degrees F. They return to activity and growth when they warm up.
Not actively growing or functioning.
A state in which a plant is not actively growing. For example, deciduous plants indicate their dormancy by shedding their foliage.
lying with head on paws as if sleeping
in a condition of biological rest or suspended animation; "dormant buds"; "a hibernating bear"; "torpid frogs"
not active but capable of becoming active; "her feelings of affection are dormant but easily awakened"
A state of rest and reduced metabolic activity in which plant tissues remain alive but do not grow.
a state of inactivity, such as hibernation, that includes a lowered metabolic rate.
Once the vines have lost their leaves in winter (just like trees), growth stops and does not resume until the spring.
An active volcano which is quiet, not presently erupting, but is expected to erupt in the future. Most of the major Cascade volcanoes are believed to be dormant rather than extinct.
at rest, or in a state of reduced activity.
In a physical state of biological rest or suspended animation - alive but not growing.
Period when a plant is not actively growing, but is still alive. For most wetland plants this happens in the winter
The term dormant describes the inactive or sleeping state in which a plant stops growing but is still alive.
DOR-mant] A relatively inactive or resting condition in which some processes are slowed down or suspended.
Inactive, or resting. Dormancy is a stage in seeds and buds that prevents them from germinating or opening in unfavorable conditions. [GT
(1) A living plant that is not actively growing aerial shoots. (2) A pesticide application made on crop plants that are not actively growing.
Something alive which is not active during a season to save energy. Some plants in the winter go dormant in the winter and wait until spring for their leaves to come out.
growth and other biological activity is greatly reduced or suspended
Some plant seeds can have an inactive period which can even last years until the conditions are right for them to grow.
A period of inactivity for a tree. Trees are dormant from the time the leaves fall until new ones appear.
Seasonal quiescent state in which the plant suspends growth. Usually occurs during winter months.
In a sleeping position; state of minimal activity
a state in which normal activity is suspended, as in during hibernation.
In a condition of biological rest or inactivity.
Temporarily inactive, as with molds and fungus in a state of dormancy, reactiv
Inactive, some viruses are known to lie dormant in the body for long periods of time, subsequently becoming activated. A possible role of viral infections in MS has still not been excluded.
Temporarily inactive. Back to top of Glossary page
to become inactive during winter or periods of cold weather.
(door· ment) means "inactive."
Having growth, development, or other biological activity suspended; resting, inactive.
a state in which metabolic activities are decreased, including hibernation, aestivation, torpor, and diapause. a state in which body functions become very slow, this includes conditions like hibernation, aestivation, torpor, and diapause.
In a relatively inactive or resting condition in which some metabolic processes are slowed down or suspended.
A state of temporary inactivity and heart rate decrease, will periodically arise during warm periods
when a volcano remains inactive for a long time
Inactive for an extended period. For example, many bears are dormant for a period in winter. As opposed to animals which are hibernating, their pulse rate and body temperature do not decrease significantly.
In a resting, or nonvegetative, state.
A virus, such as herpes, is either active or dormant. When active, the virus is replicating and perhaps shedding. When dormant, it is hiding somewhere in the body, not replicating. HSV-2 usually hides; that is, it escapes attack from the immune system in clusters of nerve tissue near the base of the spine when it is dormant. When it's active, it travels up a nerve to the surface of the skin.
Inactive infection that is still present in the body.
State of reduced physiological activity in the organs of a plant.
A state of suspended activity in which plants cease to grow as a means of protection against harsh weather such as extreme cold or heat.
At rest; clinically silent.
