To help you organize the images of the virus lytic cycle in the correct order, here are the typical steps involved in the lytic cycle:

1. **Attachment (Step ONE)**: The virus attaches to the host cell using specific surface proteins that bind to receptors on the host cell.

2. **Penetration (Step TWO)**: The virus penetrates the host cell membrane and injects its genetic material (DNA/RNA) into the host cell.

3. **Biosynthesis (Step THREE)**: The host cell machinery is hijacked to replicate the viral nucleic acids and produce viral proteins.

4. **Maturation (Step FOUR)**: New viral particles are assembled from the replicated genetic material and proteins.

5. **Lysis (Step FIVE)**: The host cell is lysed (broken open), releasing new viral particles into the environment.

6. **Release (Step SIX)**: The newly formed viruses can now go on to infect other cells.

Using these descriptions, you can arrange the images to represent the steps of the lytic cycle in the correct order!
