1. Characteristics and Classification of Living Organisms | 生物的特征与分类
All living organisms share seven basic characteristics: movement, respiration, sensitivity, growth, reproduction, excretion and nutrition (MRS GREN). You must be able to define and give examples of each.
所有生物都具有七项基本生命特征：运动、呼吸、感应、生长、繁殖、排泄和营养（常记为 MRS GREN）。你需要掌握每个特征的定义并能举例说明。
The binomial system of naming species (Genus species) is universal. Classification traditionally follows the hierarchy: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species.
物种的双名法（属名 + 种名）是全球通用的命名系统。传统分类阶元依次为：界、门、纲、目、科、属、种。
You should know the main features of the five kingdoms: Animals, Plants, Fungi, Prokaryotes (bacteria) and Protoctists, and be able to use dichotomous keys to identify organisms.
你需要了解五界系统——动物界、植物界、真菌界、原核生物界和原生生物界的主要特征，并能够使用二叉式检索表鉴定生物。
2. Cell Structure and Organisation | 细胞结构与组织层次
Both plant and animal cells contain a nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria and ribosomes. Plant cells additionally have a cellulose cell wall, a large permanent vacuole and chloroplasts for photosynthesis.
动植物细胞都具有细胞核、细胞质、细胞膜、线粒体和核糖体。植物细胞还含有纤维素细胞壁、一个大液泡以及用于光合作用的叶绿体。
nderstand the levels of organisation: cells → tissues → organs → organ systems → organism.
你需要描述每个细胞器的功能，并理解组织层次：细胞 → 组织 → 器官 → 器官系统 → 生物体。
al size is a core skill. Always show your working and convert units correctly (1 mm = 1000 µm).
使用公式“放大倍数 = 图像大小 ÷ 实际大小”计算放大倍数和实际尺寸是核心技能。务必展示计算过程并正确换算单位（1 毫米 = 1000 微米）。
3. Movement Across Membranes | 跨膜运输
Diffusion is the net movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration down a concentration gradient, as a result of their random movement. It is a passive process requiring no energy.
扩散是粒子自较高浓度区域向较低浓度区域沿浓度梯度的净运动，源于粒子的随机运动。这是一种被动过程，不消耗能量。
Osmosis is the net movement of water molecules from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential through a partially permeable membrane.
渗透作用是水分子通过选择透过性膜从水势较高的区域向水势较低区域的净运动。
Active transport moves substances against the concentration gradient using energy from respiration. Carrier proteins in the cell membrane are essential for this process, as seen in ion uptake by root hairs and glucose absorption in the kidney.
主动运输利用呼吸作用提供的能量逆浓度梯度转运物质。该过程依赖细胞膜上的载体蛋白，如根毛对离子的吸收以及肾脏对葡萄糖的重吸收。
4. Biological Molecules | 生物分子
Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids are the four major groups. You must know the chemical elements they contain (C, H, O; proteins also contain N and sometimes S; nucleic acids contain P).
糖类、脂质、蛋白质和核酸是四大类生物分子。你需要知道它们所含的化学元素（碳、氢、氧；蛋白质还含氮，有时含硫；核酸含磷）。
Starch, glycogen and cellulose are polysaccharides made from glucose. Starch serves as the main energy store in plants, glycogen in animals, and cellulose provides structural support in cell walls.
淀粉、糖原和纤维素是由葡萄糖构成的多糖。淀粉是植物中的主要储能物质，糖原在动物中储能，纤维素则为细胞壁提供结构支撑。
Proteins are long chains of amino acids folded into specific shapes. The biuret test (purple/violet) identifies proteins, iodine solution (blue-black) detects starch, and Benedict's test (orange-red when heated) identifies reducing sugars. The emulsion test (white, cloudy layer) is used for lipids.
蛋白质是由氨基酸组成的长链，折叠成特定形状。双缩脲试验（呈紫色）鉴定蛋白质，碘液（呈蓝黑色）检测淀粉，本尼迪克特试验（加热后呈橙红色）检测还原糖，而乳化试验（呈白色浑浊层）用于检测脂质。
5. Enzymes | 酶
Enzymes are biological catalysts made of protein that speed up metabolic reactions without being used up. Each enzyme is highly specific to its substrate because of the complementary shape of its active site.
酶是由蛋白质构成的生物催化剂，能加速代谢反应而自身不被消耗。由于酶的活性部位形状与底物互补，因此一种酶只能作用于特定的底物。
Temperature and pH affect enzyme activity. At low temperatures, enzymes work slowly; as temperature rises, activity increases to an optimum, then the enzyme denatures and the active site irreversibly changes shape. Similarly, each enzyme has an optimum pH.
温度和 pH 会影响酶活性。低温时酶反应缓慢；随温度升高，活性增强直至最适温度，随后酶变性，活性部位形状不可逆地改变。同样，每种酶都有其最适 pH。
You should be able to design and explain investigations into the effect of factors on enzyme activity, such as amylase breaking down starch at different temperatures.
你需要能够设计与解释探究因素对酶活性影响的实验，例如不同温度下淀粉酶分解淀粉的探究。
6. Plant Nutrition | 植物营养
n: carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen, in the presence of chlorophyll and sunlight.
光合作用是植物利用光能将简单原料合成为碳水化合物的过程。文字方程式：二氧化碳 + 水 → 葡萄糖 + 氧气，反应的进行需要叶绿素和光照。
Chlorophyll transfers light energy into chemical energy. Limiting factors for photosynthesis are light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration and temperature. You need to interpret graphs showing single and combined limiting factors.
叶绿素将光能转化为化学能。光合作用的限制因素包括光照强度、二氧化碳浓度和温度。你需要解读单因素和多因素限制的曲线图。
The leaf is an organ adapted for photosynthesis. Palisade mesophyll cells contain many chloroplasts, the epidermis is transparent, stomata allow gas exchange, and the spongy mesophyll has air spaces for efficient diffusion of gases.
叶片是适应光合作用的器官。栅栏组织的叶肉细胞含有大量叶绿体，表皮透明，气孔允许气体交换，海绵组织具有空隙利于气体高效扩散。
7. Human Nutrition | 人体营养
A balanced diet contains carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins, minerals, water and dietary fibre in correct proportions. Energy requirements vary with age, activity level and pregnancy.
均衡膳食包含比例合适的糖类、蛋白质、脂质、维生素、矿物质、水和膳食纤维。能量需求因年龄、活动量和怀孕状况而异。

The human alimentary canal includes the mouth, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and anus. Digestion involves mechanical breakdown (teeth, stomach churning) and chemical breakdown (enzymes). Amylase acts on starch in the mouth and small intestine; protease on proteins in the stomach and small intestine; lipase on lipids in the small intestine after emulsification by bile.
人体消化道包括口腔、食管、胃、小肠、大肠和肛门。消化过程包括机械性消化（牙齿咀嚼、胃蠕动）和化学性消化（酶的作用）。淀粉酶在口腔和小肠消化淀粉；蛋白酶在胃和小肠分解蛋白质；脂肪酶在小肠中分解经胆汁乳化后的脂质。
8. Transport in Plants | 植物体内的运输
Xylem vessels transport water and dissolved minerals from roots to leaves. They are thick-walled, lignin-reinforced dead cells. Transpiration is the loss of water vapour from leaves through stomata, driven by evaporation.
木质部导管将水分和溶解的矿物质从根部向上运输到叶片。它们是细胞壁加厚、木质素强化的死细胞。蒸腾作用是水蒸气通过气孔从叶片散失的现象，由蒸发驱动。
Transpiration rate increases with higher temperature, increased air movement, lower humidity and increased light intensity (which opens stomata). A potometer measures rate of water uptake; you should be able to design experiments to investigate the effect of environmental conditions on transpiration.
蒸腾速率随温度升高、空气流动增强、湿度降低和光照增强（使气孔张开）而加快。蒸腾计可测量吸水速率；你需要能设计实验探究环境条件对蒸腾作用的影响。
Phloem transports sucrose and amino acids from sources (e.g. leaves) to sinks (e.g. roots, fruits) in a process called translocation. Phloem consists of living sieve tube elements and companion cells.
韧皮部将蔗糖和氨基酸从源（如叶片）运输到库（如根部、果实），这一过程称为同化物转运。韧皮部由活细胞筛管和伴胞组成。
9. Transport in Animals | 动物体内的运输
The human circulatory system is a double circulation: pulmonary circulation to the lungs and systemic circulation to the rest of the body. Arteries carry blood away from the heart under high pressure, veins return blood at lower pressure with valves to prevent backflow, and capillaries are one-cell-thick for efficient exchange of substances.
人体循环系统是双循环：肺循环通向肺部，体循环通向全身其他器官。动脉在高压下将血液运离心脏，静脉在较低压下将血液送回并具有瓣膜防止回流，毛细血管仅由一层细胞构成以利于物质交换。
The heart has four chambers: right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, left ventricle. The right side deals with deoxygenated blood, the left with oxygenated blood. The septum separates the two sides. Know the pathway of blood and the role of valves in preventing backflow.
心脏有四个腔室：右心房、右心室、左心房、左心室。右心处理缺氧血，左心处理富氧血。室间隔将两侧隔开。你需要掌握血液流动路径及瓣膜防止倒流的作用。
Blood consists of plasma, red blood cells (transport oxygen using haemoglobin), white blood cells (defend against pathogens) and platelets (clotting). You should be able to identify these in photomicrographs.
血液由血浆、红细胞（利用血红蛋白运输氧气）、白细胞（防御病原体）和血小板（凝血）组成。你应能在显微照片中辨认这些成分。
10. Diseases and Immunity | 疾病与免疫
A pathogen is a microorganism that causes disease. Transmission can be direct (contact, droplet infection) or indirect (vectors, contaminated food/water). Understand the mechanisms of how the body defends itself: mechanical barriers like skin and mucus; chemical barriers such as stomach acid and lysozyme; and cells like phagocytes (engulf pathogens) and lymphocytes (produce antibodies and antitoxins).
病原体是引发疾病的微生物。传播方式可以是直接接触或飞沫传播，也可以是间接传播（媒介、受污染的食物或水源）。理解人体的防御机制：皮肤与黏液等机械屏障；胃酸、溶菌酶等化学屏障；还有细胞防御，如吞噬细胞（吞噬病原体）和淋巴细胞（产生抗体和抗毒素）。
Vaccination provides artificial active immunity by introducing a harmless form of the pathogen, stimulating the production of memory lymphocytes. Herd immunity protects vulnerable individuals.
疫苗接种通过引入无害形式的病原体，刺激记忆淋巴细胞生成，从而提供人工主动免疫。群体免疫可以保护弱势个体。
11. Respiration | 呼吸作用
n uses oxygen to completely oxidise glucose: glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water (+ lots of energy).
呼吸作用是在活细胞内将营养物质分解释放能量的化学过程，不同于呼吸动作。有氧呼吸利用氧气将葡萄糖彻底氧化：葡萄糖 + 氧气 → 二氧化碳 + 水（+ 大量能量）。
Anaerobic respiration occurs when oxygen is insufficient. In animal muscles, glucose is converted to lactic acid and a small amount of energy is released. In yeast and plants, ethanol and carbon dioxide are produced. Oxygen debt results from lactic acid build-up during vigorous exercise.
无氧呼吸发生在氧气不足时。在动物肌肉中，葡萄糖转化为乳酸并释放少量能量。在酵母和植物中，则产生乙醇和二氧化碳。剧烈运动后因乳酸积累会产生氧债。
You must be able to compare the two types of respiration in terms of ATP yield and end products, and describe investigations that demonstrate respiration, such as the effect of temperature on yeast respiration using a respirometer.
你需要从 ATP 产生量和最终产物方面比较两种呼吸类型，并能描述证明呼吸作用的实验，例如使用呼吸计探究温度对酵母呼吸速率的影响。
12. Coordination and Response | 协调与反应
The nervous system uses electrical impulses transmitted along neurones. A reflex arc involves a receptor, sensory neurone, relay neurone in the spinal cord, motor neurone and effector, enabling fast, automatic responses.
神经系统通过沿神经元传导的电脉冲发挥作用。反射弧包括感受器、感觉神经元、位于脊髓的中间神经元、运动神经元和效应器，能实现快速、自动的反应。
The human eye focuses light onto the retina by changing the shape of the lens (accommodation). The iris adjusts the size of the pupil in response to light intensity. Rods and cones in the retina detect light and colour respectively.
人眼通过改变晶状体形状（调节作用）将光聚焦于视网膜。虹膜根据光照强度调节瞳孔大小。视网膜中的视杆细胞和视锥细胞分别感知光亮和色彩。
Hormones are chemical messengers produced by endocrine glands and transported in the blood. Adrenaline prepares the body for 'fight or flight' by increasing heart rate and blood glucose. Insulin lowers blood glucose by converting it to glycogen in the liver and muscles. Homeostasis maintains a stable internal environment.
激素是由内分泌腺产生并通过血液运输的化学信使。肾上腺素通过提高心率和血糖为身体“战斗或逃跑”做准备。胰岛素通过将葡萄糖转化为肝脏和肌肉中的糖原来降低血糖。稳态维持内环境的稳定。
