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: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:0048518
|
positive regulation of biological process
|
Any process that activates or increases 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:0048583
|
regulation of response to stimulus
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a response to a stimulus. Response to stimulus is 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. |
|
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:0032101
|
regulation of response to external stimulus
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a response to an external stimulus. |
|
GO:0032103
|
positive regulation of response to external stimulus
|
Any process that activates, maintains or increases the rate of a response to an external stimulus. |
|
GO:0048584
|
positive regulation of response to stimulus
|
Any process that activates, maintains or increases the rate of a response to a stimulus. Response to stimulus is 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. |
|
GO:0006935
|
chemotaxis
|
The directed movement of a motile cell or organism, or the directed growth of a cell guided by a specific chemical concentration gradient. Movement may be towards a higher concentration (positive chemotaxis) or towards a lower concentration (negative chemotaxis). |
|
GO:0042330
|
taxis
|
The directed movement of a motile cell or organism in response to an external stimulus. |
|
GO:0040011
|
locomotion
|
Self-propelled movement of a cell or organism from one location to another. |
|
GO:0040012
|
regulation of locomotion
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of locomotion of a cell or organism. |
|
GO:0040017
|
positive regulation of locomotion
|
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of locomotion of a cell or organism. |
|
GO:0050920
|
regulation of chemotaxis
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the directed movement of a motile cell or organism in response to a specific chemical concentration gradient. |
|
GO:0050921
|
positive regulation of chemotaxis
|
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the directed movement of a motile cell or organism in response to a specific chemical concentration gradient. |
|
GO:0050919
|
negative chemotaxis
|
The directed movement of a motile cell or organism towards a lower concentration of a chemical. |
|
GO:0050923
|
regulation of negative chemotaxis
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the directed movement of a motile cell or organism towards a lower concentration in a concentration gradient of a specific chemical. |
|
GO:0050924
|
positive regulation of negative chemotaxis
|
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the directed movement of a motile cell or organism towards a lower concentration in a concentration gradient of a specific chemical. |
