General Information

Term

response to UV

ID (Ontology)

GO:0009411 (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 an ultraviolet radiation (UV light) stimulus. Ultraviolet radiation is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength in the range of 10 to 380 nanometers.

Also Known As

"response to ultraviolet light stimulus" ; "response to ultraviolet radiation stimulus" ; "response to UV light stimulus" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
