Osmosis and diffusion both require kinetic energy. Neither process uses energy, just a presence of energy, that is why heating water allows particles to move into homeostatic balance more quickly. There is a higher amount of kinetic energy in hot liquid. To answer your question though osmosis can occur without energy.

What process is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane?

The process of water passing through a selectively permeable membrane is called osmosis. Water will move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration in order to equalize the solute concentrations on both sides of the membrane.

Does osmosis involve the use of proteins in its process?

Yes, osmosis does not involve the use of proteins in its process. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This process does not require the use of proteins.
