In the lytic cycle, viral proteins attach to the cell membrane in the host in order to release its genetic material to take advantage of the cellular host machinery and synthesize proteins to continue with the infection. This is immediately harmful to the host.
In the lysogenic cycle, the genetic material of bacteriophage integrate into the host genome or form a circular replicon.
