- Movement by a cell or organism in reaction to a chemical stimulus
- Chemotaxis is the phenomenon in which bodily cells, bacteria, and other single-cell or multicellular organisms direct their movements according to certain chemicals in their environment. ...
- Migration of cells along a concentration gradient of an attractant.
