The lytic cycle involves the viruses injecting nucleic acid into the cell to make the cell "sick". The lytic cycle proves viruses are non-living because the only way the cells reproduced at the end of the cycle was because of the host cell. A virus cannot reproduce on its own (only can with a host cell) as to which any living thing could. Viruses are non-living organisms and the lytic cylce proves just that. Viruses alos contain protogramo fluids that kill the cell. These fluids are what mostly make a virus considered non-living for reasons scientists have not yet come to an understanding to. Hope this helped you!:)

Is lytic cycle a virus or a bacteria?

The lytic cycle is a process that viruses use to replicate within a host cell. It is not a characteristic of bacteria.


What word is the cycle of infection in which more viruses are produced and the host cell is destroyed?

The lytic cycle of infection occurs when more viruses are produced and the host cell is destroyed. This is the phenomenon that occurs in viral illnesses.

What are the two ways viruses multiply?

Viruses can multiply either through the lytic cycle, where they infect a host cell and use its machinery to produce new viral particles that eventually burst out of the cell, or through the lysogenic cycle, where the viral DNA integrates into the host cell's DNA and replicates along with it until conditions trigger the virus to enter the lytic cycle.


Does the lytic cycle require a living host?
