Which of the following is NOT an active method where molecules pass across the plasma membrane? A. simple diffusion B. active transport C. endocytosis D. exocytosis

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

Therefore, option A is correct link

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 answer is c because it is most logical.

it is because according to the process , scientific inquiry is a process with many steps because each step occurs to the scientist and if you just skip a step there would be no steps to scientific inquiry.
