Question

some viruses, such as measles, bind to receptors on the cell and are then engulfed by the cell in a vesicle. in this manner, the virus has hijacked the cellular process of phagocytosis as a mechanism to enter the host cell. true false

Explanation:

Measles virus binds to cell - surface receptors but enters host cells mainly through fusion with the cell membrane, not phagocytosis. Phagocytosis is a process mainly for engulfing large particles like bacteria by specialized phagocytic cells. Viruses use different entry mechanisms such as membrane - fusion or endocytosis (not phagocytosis in this context).

Answer:

False
