The directed movement of galactose into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. D-galactose is widely distributed in combined form in plants, animals and microorganisms as a constituent of oligo- and polysaccharides; it also occurs in galactolipids and as its glucoside in lactose and melibiose. 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 hexose into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Hexoses are any aldoses with a chain of six carbon atoms in the molecule.
