Oxygen can cross the plasma membrane through passive diffusion, moving from an area of higher concentration (outside the cell) to an area of lower concentration (inside the cell) until equilibrium is reached. This process does not require energy and occurs due to the difference in oxygen concentrations between the cell's interior and exterior.
