The cell process that requires the use of energy is **vesicular transport** (which includes processes like endocytosis and exocytosis).
The other processes you mentioned—osmosis, passive transport, and facilitated diffusion—do not require energy. They rely on the natural movement of molecules along their concentration gradient.
- **Osmosis** is the diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane.
- **Passive transport** refers to the movement of substances across a cell membrane without the use of energy, following their concentration gradient.
- **Facilitated diffusion** is a specific type of passive transport that requires transport proteins to help move molecules across the membrane.
So, to summarize, vesicular transport is the energy-requiring process in your list.
