The four main phases of mitosis are:

Prophase- In the first half:The chromosomes start to shrink. The cytoskeleton begins to form the mitotic spindle, which will grow between the centrosomes and organize the chromosomes.The nucleolus goes away.
                  In the second half: The chromosomes become extremely compact. The nuclear envelope disappears and all the DNA comes out. Some of the mitotic spindle starts to catch chromosomes.

Metaphase- The mitotic spindle moves all of the chromosomes across the middle of the cell.

Anaphase- The two chromatids of each chromosome are pulled apart from each other and become their own chromosomes. Loose microtubules push the ends of the cell to make it longer.

Telophase- The mitotic spindle is broken back down into microtubules. Two new nuclei appear (one for each new cell). The chromosomes return to their normal form (not all squished down).

Another big step is cytokinesis, which starts either during Anaphase, or Telophase. In animal cells, the cell is pinched around the middle to create the two new cells. In plant cells, a cell plate comes into the middle of the cell and separates it into the two new cells.

The main four steps can be remembered using the acronym PMAT.

Westkost [7]

The liver produces bile, that is, a soapy compound, which emulsifies lipids. The liver generates bile that comprises enzymes, and these enzymes emulsify fat into glycerides and fatty acids.  

The bile juice emulsifies fats in the intestinal contents so that they can be digested efficiently. In case, when the liver does not perform the function properly of secreting bile, then the weight of an individual increase, which indicates that the liver of the person is not generating sufficient bile to monitor the digestion of lipid.

qaws [65]

The Cusichaca Andina is the name of an organization, which is attempting to preserve a small, pink potato from the Andes, known as huana. It is considered one of the perfect crops for uncertain times, as it resists extreme rain, frost, and drought. It can be stored for two to three years.  

The organization is also trying to revive the irrigation facility, which Incas utilized in the Andean region, and researching other conventional crops, like amaranth, quinoa, squashes, and potatoes.
