# a proton is positively charged
# the six characteristics of the living cell are: respiration / digestion and absorption of food / growth and repair / extretion / reproduction and irritability and conductivity
# digestion is the process of breaking down food into fewer more simple molecules
# the waste product of combustion (inhalation of oxygen) is expelled as carbon dioxide / carbonic acid
# simple fission is a manner of reproduction whereby the nucleus divides to form two nuclei in one cell … then the cytoplasm divides to form two daughter cells within it own nucleus, so it is in short, reproduction
# hereditary data is stored within the nucleoplasm of the cell
# a cell and all it activities are controlled by the nucleus / cell membrane
# there are 23 pairs of chromosomes in a human cell
# mitosis is the division of cells through five stages – prophase – the initial divide, metaphase, anaphase, telophase and there the formation of two separate daughter cells .. mitosis is when one cell reproduces to make two new individual cells
