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 carbohydrate into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Carbohydrates are any of a group of organic compounds based of the general formula Cx(H2O)y. 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 D-ribose into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. As beta-D-ribofuranose, D-ribose forms the glycose moiety of all ribonucleosides, ribonucleotides and ribonucleic acids, and also of ribose phosphates, various glycosides, some coenzymes and some forms of vitamin B12. The directed movement of arabinose, a pentose monosaccharide that occurs in both D and L configurations, into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. 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.
