Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The described form of cell death, where the cell swells and bursts, is referred to as necrosis. Apoptosis, on the other hand, is a programmed form of cell death where the cell is broken down into small, membrane-bound fragments that are then taken up by neighboring cells or phagocytic cells. Toti-latency, induction, and encoded death are not recognized terms in the biology of cell death.
