Detailed explanation-1: -If cells are no longer needed, they commit suicide by activating an intracellular death program. This process is therefore called programmed cell death, although it is more commonly called apoptosis (from a Greek word meaning “falling off, ‘’ as leaves from a tree).

Detailed explanation-2: -Apoptosis is described as an active, programmed process of autonomous cellular dismantling that avoids eliciting inflammation. Necrosis has been characterized as passive, accidental cell death resulting from environmental perturbations with uncontrolled release of inflammatory cellular contents.

Detailed explanation-3: -Therefore, necrosis, along with apoptosis, appears to be a specific form of execution phase of programmed cell death, and there are several examples of necrosis during embryogenesis, a normal tissue renewal, and immune response.

Detailed explanation-4: -Necrosis is a non-programmed process (e.g., caused by trauma, either physical or chemical), that does not require energy nor effector proteases, like caspases.
