Why are diffusion and osmosis important to cells?
A
It allows them to take in materials/substances without using energy.
B
It allows them to reproduce.
C
It allows them to absorb sunlight.
D
It allows cells to use all energy.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Why is Osmosis And Diffusion Important To Living Organisms? Osmosis and diffusion are both important to living organisms because they are both processes that allow molecules to move around. Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules, and diffusion is the diffusion of all other molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -Diffusion is the process of movement of molecules under a concentration gradient. It is an important process occurring in all living beings. Diffusion helps in the movement of substances in and out of the cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Diffusion and osmosis are important for human survival because they allow human cells to obtain resources and eliminate wastes passively. This is because both diffusion and osmosis involve the net movement of molecules down a concentration gradient and as such they require no energy input to take place.
