How is the process of active transport beneficial to human living systems?

A. Active transport moves substances against a concentration gradient, allowing fluid compartment volume ionic differences to be maintained. B. Active transport allows the fluid lost at the capillary–interstitial compartment in-terface to be returned by lymph flow to the systemic circulation. C. When diffusion is limited by membrane impermeability, active transport maintains homeostasis of osmolarity across all body fluid compartments. D. When osmosis cannot occur during periods of anoxia, active transport facilitates movement of glucose across cell membranes so that energy production is not disrupted.
