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 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 organic alcohols into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. An organic alcohol is any carbon-containing compound containing a hydroxyl group. 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 polyols, any polyhydric alcohol, into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. 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 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 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 propanediol into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Propanediol is a sweet colorless, viscous, hygroscopic liquid used as an antifreeze and in brake fluid; it is also as a humectant in cosmetics and personal care items, although it can be absorbed through the skin with harmful effects. The directed movement of myo-inositol into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Myo-inositol is 1,2,3,4,5/4,6-cyclohexanehexol, a growth factor for animals and microorganisms.
