its the disintegration of a cell by disruption of the plasma membrane
Lyse is a biological term that means to burst or cut a cell.
The cell wall prevents the plant cell from bursting.
The cell could lyse or explode.
It could lyse (break)
If you put a cell in a hypotonic environment, such as a blood cell in water, it will swell up due to osmosis and lyse.
If a cell is placed into a hypotonic solution, the water will flow into the cell causing it to swell and possibly lyse. If a cell is placed into a hypertonic solution, the water will flow out of the cell causing it to crenate. So hemolysis occurs when the red blood cells lyse.
lyse the host cell right away
swell up and lyse
Hypotonic solutions have a lower concentration of solute than the cell. Water rushes into the cell and causes it to lyse, or explode.
hypotonic solution
Perforins are toxic chemicals that punch holes into the cell membrane of an infected cell to lyse the cell
