Answer: Option A) simple diffusion

Explanation:

Simple diffusion involves the movement of solutes molecules across the plasma membrane along concentration gradient (from high to low region). Unlike active methods of moving molecules, simple diffusion does not require energy (ATP) neither does it require a transport protein.

Thus, simple diffusion is NOT an active method where molecules pass across the plasma membrane

The option that can't be regarded as active method which involves passage of molecules through the plasma membrane is A. simple diffusion

  • Plasma membrane can be regarded as cell membrane which serve as a barrier between interior of all cells and outside environment.

  • Simple diffusion can be explained as a process wherebysmall noncharged molecules pass between the phospholipids so it can get into or out of the cell.

  • And usually from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration hence, it is not an active transport that pass through cell membrane.

  • Active transport can be regarded as  process that involves movement of  molecules across a cellular membrane, which implies that it involves movement out of the cell membrane.

Therefore, option A is correct https://brainly.com/question/14015347?referrer=searchResults
