Lysis is the name for the splitting open of the host cell membrane with the release of newly formed virus particles. It is one of the ways that the new viruses are released after replication. The release is called viral shedding. Another way that viruses are shed, besides through lysis, is budding. Viruses that need to be held in an envelope after formation (like HIV and smallpox), separate from the host cell through a process called budding, where they surround themselves with a piece of the cell's plasma membrane prior to the release.

All viruses cause cells to burst. First a virus disguises itself as a component a cell might require thus giving the virus access to the cell. The virus takes control of the cell and injects its genetic material into the cell. The virus then has the cell produce exact copies of the virus. In a few hours there are too many viruses for the cell to hold resulting in the burst of the cell.

An infection in which a virus makes copies of itself and causes the cell to burst is called what?
Lytic infection.
What is a viral infection that causes the host cell to burst and die in order for the newly synthesized virus to be released?
Lytic cycle
What might cause a cell to burst?
a lytic virus All viruses cause cells to burst. First a virus disguises itself as a component a cell might require thus giving the virus access to the cell. The virus takes control of the cell and injects its genetic material into the cell. The virus then has the cell produce exact copies of the virus. In a few hours there are too many viruses for the cell to hold resulting in the burst of the cell.
An animal cell that surrounded by fresh water will burst because osmosis causes?
water to move into the cell
An animal cell that is surrounded by fresh water will burst because the osmosis pressure causes?
An animal cell that is surrounded by fresh water will burst because the osmotic pressure causesAn animal cell that is surrounded by fresh water will burst because the osmosis pressure causes the cytoplasm is hypertonic where it will absorb water hence swells leading it to burst.

Lytic infection.

What is an infection in which a virus makes copies of itself and causes the host cell to burst called?
I believe it is called the Ly-tic cycle. The virus attaches itself to a cell and injects DNA. The viral DNA enters the Lytic cycle and new viruses are made. The cell then breaks open and viruses are released. I believe AIDS is such a virus.
An animal cell that surrounded by fresh water will burst because osmosis causes?
water to move into the cell
How does a virus affect humans?
A virus affects humans by invading a cell. The virus then forces the cell to produce viral material rather than cell material. This causes the cell to replicate the virus rather than itself.
When attacked by viruses cells die?
Yes, a virus uses a host cell to house and reproduce itself. In the final stage of its parasitic occupation, the virus replicas burst from the host cell, killing the host cell.

What happens to anything added to a cell's lysosome?
it causes the cell to burst or rupture.They contain digestive enzymes.So they are broken down
What are Viruses that immediately take over a cell's functions called?
A virus the immediately takes over a cell's functions is an active virus. An active virus causes the host cell to make new viruses, destroying the host cell.
What is active disease?
An "active virus" is when a virus enters a cell and is active, it causes the host cell to make new viruses. This process destroys the host cell. The steps are first, the virus attach's to a host cell. Second, the virus's hereditary material enters the host cell. Third, the virus's hereditary material causes the cell to make viral hereditary material and proteins. Fourth, new viruses from inside the host cell. Fifth, new viruses are released as the host cell bursts open and is destroyed. There are five steps on how a active virus functions inside a cell.
What virus causes AIDS?
The virus that causes AIDS is HIV(Human Immunodeficiency Virus) HIV infects and affects the body's key component of immunity which is the T-cell This HIV enters the host T-cell and replicates its RNA( Ribonucleic acid ) into the body's DNA( Deoxyribonucleic acid) leading to the body to produce more HIV virus cell as the T-cell virus replicates and the HIV virus renders the T-cell useless as they try to fight of diseases or even the common flu HIV progresses to AIDS when the T-cell count in the body drops below 200 or any one of the 26 opportunistic conditions which does not occur in healthy people
