Identifier	Name	Description
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:0065007	biological regulation	Any process that modulates a measurable attribute of any biological process, quality or function.
GO:0050789	regulation of biological process	Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a biological process. Biological processes are regulated by many means; examples include the control of gene expression, protein modification or interaction with a protein or substrate molecule.
GO:0032501	multicellular organismal process	Any biological process, occurring at the level of a multicellular organism, pertinent to its function.
GO:0032502	developmental process	A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an integrated living unit: an anatomical structure (which may be a subcellular structure, cell, tissue, or organ), or organism over time from an initial condition to a later condition.
GO:0040007	growth	The increase in size or mass of an entire organism, a part of an organism or a cell.
GO:0048589	developmental growth	The increase in size or mass of an entire organism, a part of an organism or a cell, where the increase in size or mass has the specific outcome of the progression of the organism over time from one condition to another.
GO:0040008	regulation of growth	Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the growth of all or part of an organism so that it occurs at its proper speed, either globally or in a specific part of the organism's development.
GO:0050793	regulation of developmental process	Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of development, the biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of a multicellular organism over time from an initial condition (e.g. a zygote, or a young adult) to a later condition (e.g. a multicellular animal or an aged adult).
GO:0051239	regulation of multicellular organismal process	Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a multicellular organismal process, the processes pertinent to the function of a multicellular organism above the cellular level; includes the integrated processes of tissues and organs.
GO:0048638	regulation of developmental growth	Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of developmental growth.
GO:0035264	multicellular organism growth	The increase in size or mass of an entire multicellular organism, as opposed to cell growth.
GO:0040014	regulation of multicellular organism growth	Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of growth of the body of an organism so that it reaches its usual body size.
