Bacteria, Archaea, Eubacteria
64
List MRSGREN
Movement Respiration Sensitivity Growth Reproduction Excretion Nutrients
65
List the cell theory
1. All living organisms are made of cells 2. Cells are the basic unit of life 3. Cells arise from pre-existing cells 4. Hereditary information is passed from the cell 5. All cells have basic chemical composition 6. Energy flow occurs within cells
66
What are the stages of mitosis?
(Interphase) Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase (Cytokinesis)
67
Name the hierarchy of cells
Cells - Tissues - Organs - Organ systems - Organism
68
What is mitosis?
Mitosis is the division of a cell nucleus to produce 2 identical cells
69
What happens during the Prophase?
Chromosones condense and thicken. The cell membrane disappears
70
What happens during the metaphase?
M for middle chromosomes line up along the middle
71
What happens during the anaphase?
A for apart. Spindle fibres condense and shorten, dragging the chromatids to each end
72
What happens during the Telophase?
T is for 2. The nuclear membrane reforms to make **2 **nuclei but it is still one cell.
73
What is Binary Fission

74
What is it called when bacteria make more copies of themselves through the process of mitosis?
Binary Fission
