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

Answer:
The correct answer is - domain.
Explanation:
In a taxonomic system, all the organisms fall into three broad groups that comprise different kingdoms of the organisms. This group of taxa known as Domain and it is the broadest and most inclusive taxa of the taxonomic system. It includes three groups Archaea, bacteria and eukarya.
Archaea and bacteria were used to comprise in one group but due their differences archaea are divided into new group. These domains have all the organisms present on earth.
Answer:
This is correct. The remaining portion:
Sympatric species that form interrelationships undergo coevolution.
Allopatric species in different environments can undergo convergent evolution.
Allopatric species in small populations and under intense environmental conditions can undergo genetic drift.
Explanation:
On the basis of geographical distance, speciation is of two major types:
- Sympatric
- Allopatric
Sympatric Speciation:
Sympatric speciation is the formation of new species with no gergraphical separation from the ancestor. The new and parent species both exist in the same environment but do not interbreed due to mechanisms of reproductive isolation. These involves both prezygotic and post zygotic barriers to reproduction such as timing of mating, sensitivity to pheromones, choice of mating sites or infertility and mismatched gametes. Species formed through sympatric speciation can form interrelationships and undergo coevolution i.e. the evolution of ones species is dependent on the other.
Allopatric Speciation:
It involves the geographical separation of the parent and new species. These species could be geographically separated by a river, mountain range or land mass.
Although, allopatric species evolve independently, they may develop similar characteristics that serve different functions. Allopatric species in radically different environments undergo convergent evolution i.e. species evolve similar characteristics without any ancestral homology.
Allopatric species that reside in small populations and are under harsh environmental pressures undergo a rapid genetic revolution i.e. genetic drift. This includes the Founder's and bottleneck effect that involve the continuation of a species from very few individuals after a drastic, sudden environmental change.
