Edexcel 国际高级水平（IAL）综合科学资格将生物学、化学和物理学整合为一个连贯的课程。这份“101”指南为你解析在三门科学中取得优异成绩所必须掌握的基础概念。无论你正在学习单元 1 分子、饮食、运输与健康，还是单元 5 力学与材料，下列原理都将加深你的理解并提升你的考试技巧。
1. The Scientific Method and SI Units | 科学方法与 SI 单位
A solid grasp of the scientific method underpins all experimental work in Combined Science. You need to formulate hypotheses, identify independent and dependent variables, and control extraneous variables. Accurate data collection with appropriate SI units — such as metres (m), kilograms (kg), seconds (s), and moles (mol) — is non‑negotiable. Always express your final answers using standard form and the correct number of significant figures.
扎实掌握科学方法是综合科学所有实验工作的基础。你需要提出假设，识别自变量与因变量，并控制无关变量。使用适当的国际单位制 (SI) 单位——如米 (m)、千克 (kg)、秒 (s) 和摩尔 (mol)——进行精确的数据收集是必须的。始终用科学记数法和正确的有效数字表达最终答案。
In physics, derived units such as the newton (N) for force (kg m s⁻²) and the joule (J) for energy (kg m² s⁻²) are built from base units. In chemistry, concentration is often expressed in mol dm⁻³, and in biology, measurements like blood pressure are given in mmHg. Consistently checking units can prevent critical errors in multi‑step calculations.
在物理学中，导出单位如表示力的牛顿 (N) (kg m s⁻²) 和表示能量的焦耳 (J) (kg m² s⁻²) 均由基本单位构成。在化学中，浓度常用 mol dm⁻³ 表示；在生物学中，血压等测量值以 mmHg 给出。始终检验单位可以防止在多步计算中出现重大错误。
2. Biomolecules: Carbohydrates, Lipids and Proteins | 生物分子：碳水化合物、脂质与蛋白质
Carbohydrates are composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, typically with the general formula Cₓ(H₂O)ᵧ. Monosaccharides like glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) serve as immediate energy sources, while polysaccharides such as starch and glycogen store energy. Cellulose, a structural polysaccharide, provides rigidity to plant cell walls through β‑1,4 glycosidic bonds.
碳水化合物由碳、氢和氧组成，通式通常为 Cₓ(H₂O)ᵧ。像葡萄糖 (C₆H₁₂O₆) 这样的单糖是即时能量来源，而淀粉和糖原等多糖则储存能量。纤维素是一种结构多糖，通过 β‑1,4 糖苷键为植物细胞壁提供刚性。
Lipids, including triglycerides, are made of glycerol and three fatty acid chains. They are hydrophobic and crucial for energy storage, insulation and the formation of cell membranes (phospholipids). Proteins are polymers of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. The sequence of amino acids determines the protein’s specific conformation and function, such as enzymes, haemoglobin or collagen.
脂质，包括甘油三酯，由甘油和三条脂肪酸链构成。它们具有疏水性，对能量储存、隔热及细胞膜（磷脂）的形成至关重要。蛋白质是由肽键连接的氨基酸聚合物。氨基酸序列决定了蛋白质的特定构象与功能，如酶、血红蛋白或胶原蛋白。
3. Cardiovascular Health and Transport | 心血管健康与运输
The heart is a muscular pump with four chambers: two atria and two ventricles. Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium via the vena cava, while oxygenated blood returns from the lungs to the left atrium. The sinoatrial node (SAN) generates electrical impulses that coordinate contraction. Understanding the cardiac cycle and the roles of the atrioventricular and semilunar valves is essential for Unit 1.
心脏是一个由四个腔室组成的肌肉泵：两个心房和两个心室。脱氧血通过腔静脉进入右心房，而氧合血从肺部返回左心房。窦房结 (SAN) 产生电脉冲以协调收缩。理解心动周期以及房室瓣和半月瓣的作用对单元 1 至关重要。
Atherosclerosis can narrow arteries, increasing blood pressure and the risk of thrombosis. Key dietary factors include saturated fats (raise low‑density lipoproteins) and high salt intake (raises blood pressure). Drug treatments like statins and ACE inhibitors are often examined in relation to cardiovascular disease.
动脉粥样硬化会使动脉狭窄，升高血压并增加血栓形成的风险。关键饮食因素包括饱和脂肪（升高低密度脂蛋白）和高盐摄入（升高血压）。他汀类药物和 ACE 抑制剂等药物治疗常与心血管疾病结合进行考查。
4. Cell Structure and Membrane Transport | 细胞结构与膜运输
Eukaryotic cells contain membrane‑bound organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane‑bound organelles. You must be able to link organelle structure to function — for instance, the folded cristae in mitochondria provide a large surface area for oxidative phosphorylation.
真核细胞含有膜包被的细胞器，如细胞核、线粒体、内质网和高尔基体。原核细胞没有细胞核和膜包被的细胞器。你必须能够将细胞器的结构与其功能联系起来——例如，线粒体内折叠的嵴为氧化磷酸化提供了巨大的表面积。
The fluid‑ own the concentration gradient), facilitated diffusion via channel or carrier proteins, active transport (ATP‑ osis). Water potential (Ψ) dictates the net movement of water during osmosis: Ψ = Ψₛ + Ψₚ.
流动镶嵌模型将细胞膜描述为嵌入蛋白质的磷脂双分子层。运输过程包括扩散（被动，顺浓度梯度）、通过通道蛋白或载体蛋白的协助扩散、主动运输（由 ATP 驱动，逆梯度）以及批量运输（胞吞/胞吐）。水势 (Ψ) 决定渗透过程中水分的净移动：Ψ = Ψₛ + Ψₚ。
5. Chemical Bonding and Structure | 化学键与结构
Ionic bonding forms between metals and non‑metals through electron transfer. The resulting giant ionic lattice gives high melting points and electrical conductivity when molten or dissolved. Covalent bonding, the sharing of electrons, occurs between non‑metals. Simple molecular substances like H₂O and CO₂ have low boiling points
