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: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:0009607 response to biotic 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 biotic stimulus, a stimulus caused or produced by a living organism.
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:0009595 detection of biotic stimulus The series of events in which a biotic stimulus, one caused or produced by a living organism, is received and converted into a molecular signal.
GO:0060245 detection of cell density The series of events in which information about the density of cells in a population is received and converted into a molecular signal.
GO:0060242 contact inhibition The series of events in which information about the density of cells in a population is received by direct cell-cell contact and is converted into a molecular signal, resulting in the cessation of cell growth or proliferation.
