| GO:0009372 | quorum sensing | The process in which single-celled organisms monitor their population density by detecting the concentration of small, diffusible signal molecules produced by the cells themselves. |
| GO:0009987 | cellular process | Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. |
| GO:0008150 | biological_process | Any process specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end. |
| GO:0065007 | biological regulation | Any process that modulates a measurable attribute of any biological process, quality or function. |
| GO:0044764 | multi-organism cellular process | Any process that is carried out at the cellular level which involves another organism of the same or different species. |
| GO:0051704 | multi-organism process | A biological process which involves another organism of the same or different species. |
| GO:0065008 | regulation of biological quality | Any process that modulates a qualitative or quantitative trait of a biological quality. A biological quality is a measurable attribute of an organism or part of an organism, such as size, mass, shape, color, etc. |
| GO:0042592 | homeostatic process | Any biological process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady state. |
| GO:0044419 | interspecies interaction between organisms | Any process in which an organism has an effect on an organism of a different species. |
| GO:0044403 | symbiosis, encompassing mutualism through parasitism | An interaction between two organisms living together in more or less intimate association. Microscopic symbionts are often referred to as endosymbionts. The various forms of symbiosis include parasitism, in which the association is disadvantageous or destructive to one of the organisms; mutualism, in which the association is advantageous, or often necessary to one or both and not harmful to either; and commensalism, in which one member of the association benefits while the other is not affected. However, mutualism, parasitism, and commensalism are often not discrete categories of interactions and should rather be perceived as a continuum of interaction ranging from parasitism to mutualism. In fact, the direction of a symbiotic interaction can change during the lifetime of the symbionts due to developmental changes as well as changes in the biotic/abiotic environment in which the interaction occurs. |
| GO:0051701 | interaction with host | An interaction between two organisms living together in more or less intimate association. The term host is used for the larger (macro) of the two members of a symbiosis; the various forms of symbiosis include parasitism, commensalism and mutualism. |
| GO:0048872 | homeostasis of number of cells | Any biological process involved in the maintenance of the steady-state number of cells within a population of cells. |
| GO:0048874 | homeostasis of number of cells in a free-living population | The biological process involved in maintaining the steady-state number of cells within a population of free-living cells such as the bacteria in the gut. |
| GO:0052097 | interspecies quorum sensing | The process in which a community of single-celled organisms of different species monitors population density by detecting the concentration of small diffusible signal molecules. |
| GO:0052106 | quorum sensing involved in interaction with host | The process in which a community of single-celled organisms living in intimate contact with a host organism monitors population density by detecting the concentration of small diffusible signal molecules. The host is defined as the larger of the organisms involved in a symbiotic interaction. |
