The directed movement of organic cations into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Organic cations are atoms or small molecules with a positive charge which contain carbon in covalent linkage. The directed movement of ammonium into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Ammonium is the cation NH4+ which is formed from N2 by root-nodule bacteria in leguminous plants and is an excretory product in ammonotelic animals. The directed movement of ammonium ions from one side of an epithelium to the other. The directed movement of cations, atoms or small molecules with a net positive charge, into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore.
