Why is osmosis important to
the survival of a cell?

Osmosis provides the primary means by which water is transported into and out of cells. Osmosis is of prime importance in living organisms as it influences the distribution of nutrients and the release of metabolic wastes products such as urea.

Explanation:

The most important function of osmosis is stabilizing the internal environment of an organism by keeping the water and inter cellular fluids levels balanced. In all living organisms, nutrients and minerals make their way to the cells because of osmosis. This is very essential to the survival of a cell.
