The blue bits are greenish.
8 Bits
6 bits
A single byte represents 8 bits.

The memory address space is 64 MB, which means 226. However, each word is 4 bytes, which means that you have 224 words. This means you need log2 224 or 24 bits, to address each word.

A bit is a single digit of a binary number.
'Chuffed' means you are pleased with something. Chuffed to bits means very pleased with something. For example: 'I am chuffed to bits that I passed my driving exam!'
For: Using a single bit instead of an entire byte will conserve memory Against: Processors to have addresses for single bits. So up to 8 Booleans values can be combined into a single byte, which means bit-wise arithmetic to separate the separate values. Although this conserves memory, it takes more time (CPU time) to deal with.
Not in computing. A bit is a single entity. A nibble is four bits. A byte is eight bits.
