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 into “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?

receptor-mediated
