In a typical lytic cycle, complete viral body doesn't enter the host cell rather it injects the DNA after the attachement. In case of SARS-CoV-2, the virla body is engulfed by the host cell.
In a lytic cycle, host cell's DNA is degraded and the viral DNA take over the machinery of the host to replicate. However, in case of SARS-CoV-2, host DNA is not degraded (at least unknown till today), then the released RNA remains in the host cytoplasm, and a specific section of infecting RNA is translated to make RNA-dependent RNA polymerase.
In a lytic cycle, newly formed copies ultimately break the cell wall and the viruses are released outside. In SARS-CoV-2, however, the release of virus does not require cell lysis. It is an enveloped virus.
<em>Similarities</em>
Just like lytic cycle, SARS-CoV-2 also finds a receptor on the host cell (ACE2) and attaches for further action (attachment step).
Once viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase is produced, it makes complete copies of the genomic RNA of the SARS-CoV-2. Then, these copies are packaged into new virions.
The RNA is then translated into viral proteins such as structural proteins, viral proteases, and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. This process is completed by using the host ribosomes.
The newly prepared proteins are packaged in the virions.
As they breath out carbon dioxide the plants take in the carbon dioxide and make air with it. Animals also use air to do their day to day things like eat.
