The directed movement of monosaccharides into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates; they are polyhydric alcohols containing either an aldehyde or a keto group and between three to ten or more carbon atoms. They form the constitutional repeating units of oligo- and polysaccharides. The directed movement of D-xylose into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. D-xylose (the naturally occurring enantiomer is always D-) is a constituent of plant polysaccharides. The directed movement of pentoses into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. A pentose is any aldose with a chain of five carbon atoms in the molecule.
