The author analyzes some consequences of a turbulent protosolar and protoplanetary cloud. Hydrodynamic collapse calculations yield the result that a turbulent disk is formed, of limited size, which continuously accretes matter from the surrounding cloud and feeds the centrally growing protostar. Except for a small central region, the cloud is "cold" (T very low 1500K) at all times. Turbulence was originally introduced into the hydrodynamic collapse calculations because it seemed to be the only process through which a single star might be formed (through viscous mass transport). Turbulence, has, however, other consequences - in particular on the transport of dust and trace vapors. The description of this transport in terms of an ensemble average and - important for some applications - a nonstatistical mode is given.
