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. Growth or movement in a sessile organism toward or away from water, as of the roots of a plant. Any biological process, occurring at the level of a multicellular organism, pertinent to its function. 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. The movement of an organism, or part of an organism, in response to an external source of stimulus, usually toward or away from it. The movement of an organism, or part of an organism, in response to a light stimulus, usually toward or away from it. The movement of an organism, or part of an organism, in response to an external chemical gradient, usually toward or away from it. The movement of an organism, or part of an organism, such as leaves or tendrils, in response to a touch stimulus, usually toward or away from it. 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 orientation of plant parts under the stimulation of gravity.
