Answer:

Phospholipids

Explanation:

Phospholipids are a particular kind of lipid (an oil) that forms a two-layered surface that surrounds and protects all living cells. The phosphates are essential to forming this bilayered structure. This membrane has a semipermeable function that selectively allows some elements and molecules to go in or out of the cell and thus helps maintain the cell in equilibrium.

What happens during the lytic cycle?
Veseljchak [2.6K]

In the lytic  cycle, a virus that has invaded and  entered a  cell takes over the cell's replication mechanism. The virus makes viral DNA and viral proteins.

The virus then lyses (breaks open) the cell membrane, allowing the newly  produced viruses to leave the now disintergrated host cell to infect  other new cells.

The lytic cycle is considered  the main method of viral replication. It is even more common than the lysogenic cycle. It has helped scientists understand better how the immune system responds  to pathogens.
