Term Name: response to reactive oxygen species
Synonyms: response to active oxygen species, response to AOS, response to reactive oxidative species, response to reactive oxygen intermediate, response to ROI, response to ROS
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 reactive oxygen species stimulus.
