The directed movement of vitamins into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. A vitamin is one of a number of unrelated organic substances that occur in many foods in small amounts and that are necessary in trace amounts for the normal metabolic functioning of the body. The directed movement of carboxylic acids into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Carboxylic acids are organic acids containing one or more carboxyl (COOH) groups or anions (COO-). The directed movement of amines, including polyamines, organic compounds containing one or more amino groups, into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The directed movement of a cofactor into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. A cofactor is a substance that is required for the activity of an enzyme or other protein. The directed movement of folic acid (pteroylglutamic acid) into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Folic acid is widely distributed as a member of the vitamin B complex and is essential for the synthesis of purine and pyrimidines. The directed movement of amino acids, organic acids containing one or more amino substituents, into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. 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.
