During flu season influenza virus infects many members of the population. During infection, the virus binds to the outside of a cell and tricks that cell in eating the virus. Once inside the virus infects the cell and forces the cell to make more viruses that can then go on to infect more cells what type of cell transport is the virus using to get into the cell.
The virus is using a type of cell transport called endocytosis to get inside the cell. Endocytosis is the process by which cells take in substances from the outside by engulfing them with a small portion of their cell membrane and forming a vesicle. In this case, the virus binds to the cell membrane and is then engulfed, allowing it to enter the cell and initiate infection.
