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:0032501 multicellular organismal process Any biological process, occurring at the level of a multicellular organism, pertinent to its function.
GO:0048878 chemical homeostasis Any biological process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady state of a chemical.
GO:0042592 homeostatic process Any biological process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady state.
GO:0048871 multicellular organismal-level homeostasis Any process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady state at the level of the multicellular organism.
GO:0140962 multicellular organismal-level chemical homeostasis A homeostatic process involved in the maintenance of a steady state level of a chemical within extracellular body fluids, such as blood, xylem or phloem, of a multicellular organism. This is distinct from maintenance of cellular homeostasis, which occurs within a cell.
GO:0043129 surfactant homeostasis Any process involved in the maintenance of a steady-state level of a surface-active agent that maintains the surface tension of a liquid.
