Why is osmosis important to the survival of a cell?
Osmosis is important because it helps maintain the cell’s water and ion balance. If excess ions are not removed, water can enter the cell, causing it to swell and burst.

In active transport, molecules are moved across the cell membrane with the help ofneurons.electrical impulses.proteins.inhibitors.

What does it mean if a molecule is moved against the concentration gradient?
It means the molecule moves from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration, requiring energy.
