The directed movement of heme, any compound of iron complexed in a porphyrin (tetrapyrrole) ring, into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The process whereby heme, any compound of iron complexed in a porphyrin (tetrapyrrole) ring, is transported from one side of a membrane to the other. 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 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.
