I can describe how bacteria carry out reproduction. 

To be able to describe and give reasons for the stages in a bacterial growth curve.

To be able to describe how bacteria gain nutrients from food.

Bacterium: The plural of bacteria. 

Function: What a structure in a living thing does.

Binary fission: Bacteria make a copy of their cell contents and then split into two cells, identical to the original cell.

Toxins: Substances like CO2 (and sulphites, nitrites, ammonia and…) that at high enough levels cause cell death.

Heterotroph: Organism that can not make their own food – they must consume other things to gain nutrients and energy.

Respiration: The breaking down of glucose to release energy the cell can use to carry out life processes.
