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:0050982
|
detection of mechanical stimulus
|
The series of events by which a mechanical stimulus is received and converted into a molecular signal. |
|
GO:0009612
|
response to mechanical 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 mechanical 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:0050954
|
sensory perception of mechanical stimulus
|
The series of events required for an organism to receive a sensory mechanical stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. This is a neurological process. |
|
GO:0050974
|
detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception
|
The series of events in which a mechanical stimulus is received and converted into a molecular signal as part of sensory perception. |
|
GO:0050959
|
echolocation
|
Echolocation is the method used by some animals (e.g. bats, dolphins and some whales) to determine the location of something by measuring the time it takes for an echo to return from it. These animals emit sound waves and listen for the echo, calculating the distance to the object from the time lapse between sound emission and the echo returning. |
|
GO:0050972
|
detection of mechanical stimulus involved in echolocation
|
The series of events involved in echolocation in which a mechanical stimulus is received and converted into a molecular signal. The stimulus is in the form of a reflected sound wave (an echo), which the organism uses to determine the distance to the object that reflected the sound wave. |
