I know of no such process. Cells swell and burst due to being in an hypotonic environment. Water seeps into the cell due to differing inter and intra cellular osmotic gradients.

Cells also carry out apoptosis

A blood cell which swells until it bursts when put into a hypotonic solution is an example of what process?

The hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration than that of the fluid in the cell. Osmosis keeps trying to bring the concentrations into equilibrium until the cell bursts.

What is a type of infection in which the host cell bursts and is destroyed?

A type of infection where the host cell bursts and is destroyed is known as a lytic infection. This process is commonly associated with viruses that infect bacteria, known as bacteriophages, where they replicate inside the host cell until it bursts, releasing new viral particles to infect other cells.

How do cells take in nutrients to support their functions and growth?

Cells take in nutrients through a process called endocytosis, where the cell membrane surrounds and engulfs the nutrients. Once inside the cell, the nutrients are broken down and used to support the cell's functions and growth.
