A process involved in the controlled movement of a bacterial cell powered by the rearward secretion of carbohydrate slime. Cell motility due to movement of cilia or flagella. 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. Any process involved in the controlled self-propelled movement of a cell that contributes to somitogenic axis elongation. The directed, self-propelled movement of a cellular component without the involvement of an external agent such as a transporter or a pore. The movement of a cell along the process of a radial glial cell involved in cerebral cortex glial-mediated radial migration. Any process involved in the controlled movement of a sperm cell. Self-propelled movement of a cell or organism from one location to another. 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. A process involved in the controlled movement of a bacterial cell powered by the continuous polymerization of actin at one pole of the cell. The actin filament-based movement by which cytoplasmic actin filaments slide past one another resulting in a contraction that propels the cell from one place to another. The orderly movement of a cell from one site to another, often during the development of a multicellular organism or multicellular structure. Any process involved in the controlled self-propelled movement of a cell that results in translocation of the cell from one place to another. Any process by which a cell is transported to, and/or maintained in, a specific location. Any process involved in the controlled self-propelled movement of a cell that results in translocation of the cell from one place to another and contributes to the physical shaping or formation of the camera-type eye. Any process involved in the controlled movement of a bacterial cell which is dependent on the presence of type IV pili. Includes social gliding motility and twitching motility. Any process by which a cell, a substance, or a cellular entity, such as a protein complex or organelle, is transported to, and/or maintained in a specific location.
