General Information
Term response to light stimulus ID (Ontology) GO:0009416 (Gene Ontology)
Definition Any process that results in 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 light stimulus, electromagnetic radiation of wavelengths classified as infrared, visible or ultraviolet light.[ ISBN:0582227089 ]
