Identifier	Name	Description
GO:0009987	cellular process	Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level.
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.
GO:0022890	inorganic cation transmembrane transporter activity	Enables the transfer of inorganic cations from one side of a membrane to the other. Inorganic cations are atoms or small molecules with a positive charge that do not contain carbon in covalent linkage.
GO:0022857	transmembrane transporter activity	Enables the transfer of a substance, usually a specific substance or a group of related substances, from one side of a membrane to the other.
GO:0005215	transporter activity	Enables the directed movement of substances (such as macromolecules, small molecules, ions) into, out of or within a cell, accross or in between cells.
GO:0003674	molecular_function	A molecular process that can be carried out by the action of a single macromolecular machine, usually via direct physical interactions with other molecular entities. Function in this sense denotes an action, or activity, that a gene product (or a complex) performs.
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:0055085	transmembrane transport	The process in which a solute is transported across a lipid bilayer, from one side of a membrane to the other.
GO:0015318	inorganic molecular entity transmembrane transporter activity	Enables the transfer of an inorganic molecular entity from the outside of a cell to the inside of the cell across a membrane. An inorganic molecular entity is a molecular entity that contains no carbon.
GO:0098662	inorganic cation transmembrane transport	A process in which an inorganic cation is transported from one side of a membrane to the other by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore.
GO:0098660	inorganic ion transmembrane transport	The process in which an inorganic ion is transported across a membrane.
GO:0071705	nitrogen compound transport	The directed movement of nitrogen-containing compounds into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore.
GO:0015267	channel activity	Enables the energy-independent facilitated diffusion of a solute through a transmembrane aqueous pore or channel. Stereospecificity is not exhibited but this transport may be specific for a particular molecular species or class of molecules.
GO:0022803	passive transmembrane transporter activity	Enables the transfer of a single solute from one side of a membrane to the other by a mechanism involving conformational change, either by facilitated diffusion or in a membrane potential dependent process if the solute is charged.
GO:0008519	ammonium channel activity	Enables the energy-independent facilitated diffusion of ammonium through a transmembrane aqueous pore or channel.
GO:0072488	ammonium transmembrane transport	The process in which ammonium is transported across a membrane. Ammonium is the cation NH4+.
