Difference between Circadian clock and Circadian rhythm

Circadian clock vs. Circadian rhythm

A circadian clock, or circadian oscillator, is a biochemical oscillator that cycles with a stable phase and is synchronized with solar time. A circadian rhythm is any biological process that displays an endogenous, entrainable oscillation of about 24 hours.

Similarities between Circadian clock and Circadian rhythm

Circadian clock and Circadian rhythm have 33 things in common (in Unionpedia): Adenosine triphosphate, Advanced sleep phase disorder, ARNTL, Bacterial circadian rhythm, Cortisol, Cryptochrome, Cyanobacteria, Endogeny (biology), Entrainment (chronobiology), Fungus, Hypothalamus, Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells, Jeffrey C.

Advanced sleep phase disorder

Advanced sleep phase disorder (ASPD), also known as the advanced sleep-phase type (ASPT) of circadian rhythm sleep disorder or advanced sleep phase syndrome (ASPS), is a condition in which patients feel very sleepy and go to bed early in the evening (e.g. 6:00–8:00 p.m.) and wake up very early in the morning (e.g. around 3:00 a.m.).

ARNTL

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator-like protein 1 is protein that in humans is encoded by the ARNTL gene, also known as BMAL1, MOP3, and, less commonly, BHLHE5, BMAL, BMAL1C, JAP3, PASD3, and TIC.

Bacterial circadian rhythm

Bacterial circadian rhythms, like other circadian rhythms, are endogenous "biological clocks" that have the following three characteristics: (a) in constant conditions (i.e. constant temperature and either constant light or constant darkness) they oscillate with a period that is close to, but not exactly, 24 hours in duration, (b) this "free-running" rhythm is temperature compensated, and (c) the rhythm will entrain to an appropriate environmental cycle.
