Identifier Name Description
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:0000128 flocculation The reversible, non-sexual aggregation of single-celled organisms in suspension to form aggregates of many cells known as flocs.
GO:0098630 aggregation of unicellular organisms The clustering together of unicellular organisms in suspension form aggregates.
GO:0098743 cell aggregation The clustering together and adhesion of initially separate cells to form an aggregate. Examples include the clustering of unicellular organisms or blood cells in suspension and the condensation of mesenchymal cells during cartilage formation.
GO:0051704 multi-organism process A biological process which involves another organism of the same or different species.
