Answer
The answer is **endocytosis**.Here's why:* **Passive transport** moves substances across a cell membrane without the cell expending energy. It relies on the natural movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration (down a concentration gradient).* **Filtration**, **osmosis**, and **diffusion** are all examples of passive transport. They don't require energy from the cell.* **Endocytosis**, however, is a form of *active transport*. It requires the cell to expend energy to engulf materials and bring them inside the cell. It works *against* the concentration gradient in many cases.
