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. |

|
multicellular organismal process
|
Any biological process, occurring at the level of a multicellular organism, pertinent to its function. |
|
GO:0048511
|
rhythmic process
|
Any process pertinent to the generation and maintenance of rhythms in the physiology of an organism. |
|
GO:0007610
|
behavior
|
The internally coordinated responses (actions or inactions) of animals (individuals or groups) to internal or external stimuli, via a mechanism that involves nervous system activity. |
|
GO:0007623
|
circadian rhythm
|
Any biological process in an organism that recurs with a regularity of approximately 24 hours. |
|
GO:0007622
|
rhythmic behavior
|
The specific behavior of an organism that recur with measured regularity. |
|
GO:0048512
|
circadian behavior
|
The specific behavior of an organism that recurs with a regularity of approximately 24 hours. |
|
GO:0042745
|
circadian sleep/wake cycle
|
The cycle from wakefulness through an orderly succession of sleep states and stages that occurs on an approximately 24 hour rhythm. |
|
GO:0022410
|
circadian sleep/wake cycle process
|
A behavioral process involved in the cycle from wakefulness through an orderly succession of sleep states and stages that occurs on an approximately 24 hour rhythm. |
|
GO:0030431
|
sleep
|
Any process in which an organism enters and maintains a periodic, readily reversible state of reduced awareness and metabolic activity. Usually accompanied by physical relaxation, the onset of sleep in humans and other mammals is marked by a change in the electrical activity of the brain. |
|
GO:0050802
|
circadian sleep/wake cycle, sleep
|
The part of the circadian sleep/wake cycle where the organism is asleep. |
