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: -Osmosis only allows solvent molecules to move freely, but diffusion allows both solvent and solute molecules to move freely.

Detailed explanation-3: -Diffusion is the movement of particles from high concentration to low concentration in a substance. This process is essential for life on Earth, allowing for the movement of molecular compounds into and out of the cell. All matter in the universe is in motion, because all molecules are vibrating.

Detailed explanation-4: -During osmosis and diffusion, particles move across a concentration gradient. The concentration gradient affects the rate of substances into and out of cells because the greater the difference in concentration, the greater the rate of diffusion.
