Answer:

Active transport

Step-by-step explanation:

The molecules are moving from a low concentration to a high concentration across a cell membrane via a protein. ATP is used in this reaction.

We know it cannot be diffusion, facilitated diffusion, passive transport, or osmosis, because these are all passive processes. In the picture, the molecules are moving against their concentration gradient and uses energy.

It cannot be endocytosis or exocytosis, as there are no vesicles.

Active transport is the movement of molecules from a low concentration to a high concentration across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient. ATP is used to supply the energy for this process.
