biological process
process specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units
fruit ripening
process in fruits that causes them to become more palatable
S phase
cell cycle phase, following G1, during which DNA synthesis takes place
primary hemostasis
biological process; part of hemostasis
cytoplasmic streaming
directed flow of cytosol (the liquid component of the cytoplasm) and the organelles it contains
sensory perception of pain
sequence of biological and neurological processes allowing the perception of noxious stimuli
developmental process
biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an integrated living unit
developmental process
biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an integrated living unit
cold hardening
process by which an organism prepares for cold weather
Warburg effect
modified cellular metabolism form found in cancer cells, which preferentially use glycolysis rather than oxidative phosphorylation for energy production.
defoliation
leaves falling from plants under unfavorable environmental factors
histone methylation
The modification of histones by addition of methyl groups.
cartilage development
process by which cartilage is developed
prophase
cell cycle phase which is the first stage of M phase of meiosis and mitosis, during which chromosomes condense and the two daughter centrioles migrate toward the poles of the cell
viral release from host cell
dissemination of mature viral particles from the host cell
Mediated transport
transportation of substances via membrane
sensory perception
neurological process
Maternal behavior
Female behaviors associated with the care and rearing of offspring.
mitotic cell cycle
progression through the phases of the mitotic cell cycle, the most common eukaryotic cell cycle, which canonically comprises four successive phases called G1, S, G2, and M and includes replication of genome and subsequent segregation of chromosomes
ejaculation
discharge of semen from the male reproductive tract
collagen fibril organization
Any process that determines the size and arrangement of collagen fibrils within an extracellular matrix.
lipid digestion
The whole of the physical, chemical, and biochemical processes carried out by living organisms to break down ingested lipids into components that may be easily absorbed and directed into metabolism.
heme catabolic process
The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of heme, any compound of iron complexed in a porphyrin (tetrapyrrole) ring.
vascular endothelial growth factor signaling pathway
series of molecular signals initiated by the binding of a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) to a receptor on the surface of the target cell, and ending with regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription
platelet aggregation
adhesion of one platelet to one or more other platelets, via adhesion molecules
tooth eruption
process in which teeth enter the mouth and become visible
genetic transfer
transfer of genetic material (DNA and RNA) from one organism to another
co-translational protein modification
The process of covalently altering one or more amino acids in a protein after translation has begun but before the protein has been released from the ribosome.
thigmotaxis
The directed movement of a motile cell or organism in response to touch.
anaerobic amino acid catabolic process
The anaerobic chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of amino acids, yielding energy in the form of ATP.
photosynthesis, dark reaction
complex cycle of enzyme-mediated reactions which catalyzes the reduction of carbon dioxide to sugar. As well as carbon dioxide the cycle requires reducing power in the form of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) and chemical
hatching
the emergence of an immature organism from a protective structure
anaphase
the cell cycle phase, following metaphase, during which the chromosomes separate and migrate towards the poles of the spindle
tumor invasion
direct extension and penetration by cancer cells into neighboring tissues
tissue growth
biologic term on tissues
transvection
epigenetic regulation of transcription by physical interaction between a cis-acting element (enhancer, silencer) of one allele on one chromosome and the promoter of the corresponding allele on the homologous chromosome. Transvection can lead to ei
quorum quenching
biological process
