An organelle is an organized structure of distinctive morphology and function. Includes the nucleus, mitochondria, plastids, vacuoles, vesicles, ribosomes and the cytoskeleton. Excludes the plasma membrane. |

GO:0051179
|
localization
|
Any process in which a cell, a substance, or a cellular entity, such as a protein complex or organelle, is transported, tethered to or otherwise maintained in a specific location. In the case of substances, localization may also be achieved via selective degradation. |
GO:0008150
|
biological_process
|
A biological process is the execution of a genetically-encoded biological module or program. It consists of all the steps required to achieve the specific biological objective of the module. A biological process is accomplished by a particular set of molecular functions carried out by specific gene products (or macromolecular complexes), often in a highly regulated manner and in a particular temporal sequence. |

A process that results in the biosynthesis of constituent macromolecules, assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a cellular component. |
GO:0016043
|
cellular component organization
|
A process that results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a cellular component. |
GO:0051234
|
establishment of localization
|
Any process that localizes a substance or cellular component. This may occur via movement, tethering or selective degradation. |
GO:0006810
|
transport
|
The directed movement of substances (such as macromolecules, small molecules, ions) or cellular components (such as complexes and organelles) into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, or within a multicellular organism by means of some agent such as a transporter or a transporter complex, a pore or a motor protein. |
GO:0007033
|
vacuole organization
|
A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a vacuole. |
GO:0070925
|
organelle assembly
|
The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form an organelle. An organelle is an organized structure of distinctive morphology and function. Includes the nucleus, mitochondria, plastids, vacuoles, vesicles, ribosomes and the cytoskeleton. Excludes the plasma membrane. |
GO:0022607
|
cellular component assembly
|
The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a cellular component. |
GO:0061024
|
membrane organization
|
A process which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a membrane. A membrane is a double layer of lipid molecules that encloses all cells, and, in eukaryotes, many organelles; may be a single or double lipid bilayer; also includes associated proteins. |
GO:0016192
|
vesicle-mediated transport
|
A cellular transport process in which transported substances are moved in membrane-bounded vesicles; transported substances are enclosed in the vesicle lumen or located in the vesicle membrane. The process begins with a step that directs a substance to the forming vesicle, and includes vesicle budding and coating. Vesicles are then targeted to, and fuse with, an acceptor membrane. |
GO:0090174
|
organelle membrane fusion
|
The joining of two lipid bilayers to form a single organelle membrane. |
GO:0048284
|
organelle fusion
|
The creation of a single organelle from two or more organelles. |
GO:0061025
|
membrane fusion
|
The membrane organization process that joins two lipid bilayers to form a single membrane. |
GO:0016050
|
vesicle organization
|
A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a vesicle. |
GO:0046903
|
secretion
|
The controlled release of a substance by a cell or a tissue. |
GO:0140352
|
export from cell
|
The directed movement of some substance from a cell, into the extracellular region. This may occur via transport across the plasma membrane or via exocytosis. |
GO:0032940
|
secretion by cell
|
The controlled release of a substance by a cell. |
GO:0001845
|
phagolysosome assembly
|
The process that results in the fusion of a phagosome, a vesicle formed by phagocytosis, with a lysosome. |
GO:0090382
|
phagosome maturation
|
A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the arrangement of constituent parts of a phagosome within a cell. Phagosome maturation begins with endocytosis and formation of the early phagosome and ends with the formation of the hybrid organelle, the phagolysosome. |
GO:0007040
|
lysosome organization
|
A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a lysosome. A lysosome is a cytoplasmic, membrane-bounded organelle that is found in most animal cells and that contains a variety of hydrolases. |
GO:0080171
|
lytic vacuole organization
|
A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a lytic vacuole. |
GO:0140029
|
exocytic process
|
The cellular processes that contribute to exocytosis. |
GO:0006887
|
exocytosis
|
A process of secretion by a cell that results in the release of intracellular molecules (e.g. hormones, matrix proteins) contained within a membrane-bounded vesicle. Exocytosis can occur either by full fusion, when the vesicle collapses into the plasma membrane, or by a kiss-and-run mechanism that involves the formation of a transient contact, a pore, between a granule (for example of chromaffin cells) and the plasma membrane. The latter process most of the time leads to only partial secretion of the granule content. Exocytosis begins with steps that prepare vesicles for fusion with the membrane (tethering and docking) and ends when molecules are secreted from the cell. |
GO:0099500
|
vesicle fusion to plasma membrane
|
Fusion of the membrane of a vesicle with the plasma membrane, thereby releasing its contents into the extracellular space. |
GO:0006906
|
vesicle fusion
|
Fusion of the membrane of a transport vesicle with its target membrane. |
