- 13. Multiple Choice
How is the cell membrane important to the process of osmosis?
It allows water to move into the cell.
It allows all materials from the outside environments to move into the cell.
It traps water and nutrients that would otherwise be unable to move into the cell.
It collects nutrients from water in the outside environment and moves them into the cell.
