The directed movement of carbohydrates out of a cell or organelle. The process whereby a carbohydrate is transported from one side of a membrane to the other. 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 hexuronide into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Hexuronides are any compound formed by combination of glycosidic linkage of a hydroxy compound (e.g. an alcohol or a saccharide) with the anomeric carbon atom of a hexuronate. The directed movement of a cell, substance or cellular entity, such as a protein complex or organelle, to a specific location. The process of loading sucrose into the sieve tube or companion cell of the phloem for long distance transport from source to sink. The directed movement of sorbitol into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Sorbitol, also known as glucitol, is the hexitol derived by the reduction of the aldehyde group of glucose. The directed extracellular movement of carbohydrates. The directed movement of galactitol into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Galactitol is the hexitol derived by the reduction of the aldehyde group of either D- or L-galactose. The directed movement of nucleotide-sugars into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Nucleotide-sugars are any nucleotide in which the distal phosphoric residue of a nucleoside 5'-diphosphate is in glycosidic linkage with a monosaccharide or monosaccharide derivative. The directed movement of mannitol into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Mannitol is the alditol derived from D-mannose by reduction of the aldehyde group. The directed movement of oligosaccharides into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Oligosaccharides are molecules with between two and (about) 20 monosaccharide residues connected by glycosidic linkages. 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 arabitol into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Arabitol is the pentitol derived from arabinose or lyxose by reduction of the aldehyde group. The D enantiomer is present in lichens and mushrooms. The directed movement of polysaccharides into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. A polysaccharide is a polymer of more than about 10 monosaccharide residues joined by glycosidic linkages. The directed movement of glycerol into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Glycerol is 1,2,3-propanetriol, a sweet, hygroscopic, viscous liquid, widely distributed in nature as a constituent of many lipids. The directed movement of glucosides into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Glucosides are glycosides in which the sugar moiety is a glucose residue. The directed movement of substances (such as macromolecules, small molecules, ions) into, out of, within or between cells, or within a multicellular organism by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The directed movement of mannosylglycerate into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The uptake and phosphorylation of specific carbohydrates from the extracellular environment; uptake and phosphorylation are coupled, making the PTS a link between the uptake and metabolism of sugars; phosphoenolpyruvate is the original phosphate donor; phosphoenolpyruvate passes the phosphate via a signal transduction pathway, to enzyme 1 (E1), which in turn passes it on to the histidine protein, HPr; the next step in the system involves sugar-specific membrane-bound complex, enzyme 2 (EII), which transports the sugar into the cell; it includes the sugar permease, which catalyzes the transport reactions; EII is usually divided into three different domains, EIIA, EIIB, and EIIC. The directed movement of glucosylglycerol, alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-alpha-(1,2)-glycerol, into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore.
