lysed
Membrane broken open
Lysed is the past tense of lyse, meaning to cause or undergo lysis—the breaking apart or destruction of cells.
Cell membranes rupture, releasing contents: The red blood cells lysed when exposed to the hypotonic solution.
The term appears primarily in biology, medicine, and laboratory contexts.
