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:0050896
|
response to stimulus
|
Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a stimulus. The process begins with detection of the stimulus and ends with a change in state or activity or the cell or organism. |
GO:0032501
|
multicellular organismal process
|
Any biological process, occurring at the level of a multicellular organism, pertinent to its function. |
GO:0009605
|
response to external stimulus
|
Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of an external stimulus. |
GO:0051606
|
detection of stimulus
|
The series of events in which a stimulus is received by a cell or organism and converted into a molecular signal. |
GO:0050906
|
detection of stimulus involved in sensory perception
|
The series of events involved in sensory perception in which a sensory stimulus is received and converted into a molecular signal. |
GO:0007600
|
sensory perception
|
The series of events required for an organism to receive a sensory stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. This is a neurological process. |
GO:0050877
|
nervous system process
|
An organ system process carried out by any of the organs or tissues of the neurological system. |
GO:0003008
|
system process
|
A multicellular organismal process carried out by any of the organs or tissues in an organ system. An organ system is a regularly interacting or interdependent group of organs or tissues that work together to carry out a biological objective. |
GO:0009628
|
response to abiotic stimulus
|
Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of an abiotic (not derived from living organisms) stimulus. |
GO:0009581
|
detection of external stimulus
|
The series of events in which an external stimulus is received by a cell and converted into a molecular signal. |
GO:0009582
|
detection of abiotic stimulus
|
The series of events in which an (non-living) abiotic stimulus is received by a cell and converted into a molecular signal. |
GO:0050953
|
sensory perception of light stimulus
|
The series of events required for an organism to receive a sensory light stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. This is a neurological process. |
GO:0007601
|
visual perception
|
The series of events required for an organism to receive a visual stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. Visual stimuli are detected in the form of photons and are processed to form an image. |
GO:0009583
|
detection of light stimulus
|
The series of events in which a light stimulus (in the form of photons) is received and converted into a molecular signal. |
GO:0009416
|
response to light stimulus
|
Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a light stimulus, electromagnetic radiation of wavelengths classified as infrared, visible or ultraviolet light. |
GO:0009314
|
response to radiation
|
Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of an electromagnetic radiation stimulus. Electromagnetic radiation is a propagating wave in space with electric and magnetic components. These components oscillate at right angles to each other and to the direction of propagation. |
GO:0050908
|
detection of light stimulus involved in visual perception
|
The series of events involved in visual perception in which a light stimulus is received and converted into a molecular signal. |
GO:0050962
|
detection of light stimulus involved in sensory perception
|
The series of events in which a light stimulus is received by a cell and converted into a molecular signal as part of the sensory perception of light. |
