Edexcel生物 生物分子 细胞膜 酶 基因 备考
Edexcel A-Level Biology is one of the most content-rich science qualifications, spanning 10 core topics plus practical skills. A well-structured study plan is essential for covering this vast syllabus while building the deep understanding needed for Paper 1, Paper 2, and Paper 3. Edexcel A-Level生物是内容最丰富的科学资格之一，涵盖10个核心主题和实验技能。合理的复习计划对于覆盖庞大的考纲并建立深层理解至关重要。
1. Biological Molecules 生物大分子
Carbohydrates 碳水化合物
Monosaccharides (glucose, fructose) form disaccharides via condensation reactions that produce glycosidic bonds. Polysaccharides like starch (amylose + amylopectin) and glycogen serve as energy stores. Monosaccharides通过缩合反应形成糖苷键生成二糖。多糖如淀粉和糖原作为储能物质。
Lipids 脂类
Triglycerides: one glycerol + three fatty acids via ester bonds. Phospholipids form the bilayer: hydrophilic phosphate heads face water, hydrophobic fatty acid tails face inward. Understand the emulsion test for lipids. 甘油三酯：一个甘油+三个脂肪酸通过酯键连接。磷脂形成双分子层：亲水磷酸头朝外，疏水脂肪酸尾朝内。
Proteins 蛋白质
Four structural levels: primary (amino acid sequence), secondary (alpha-helix + beta-pleated sheet via hydrogen bonds), tertiary (disulfide, ionic, hydrophobic interactions), quaternary (multiple polypeptide chains). Biuret test turns purple when peptide bonds present. 四级结构：一级（氨基酸序列），二级（氢键形成alpha螺旋和beta折叠），三级（二硫键/离子键/疏水作用），四级（多条肽链组合）。
DNA and ATP DNA与ATP: DNA is a double helix with deoxyribose sugar, phosphate backbone, and complementary base pairing (A-T via 2 hydrogen bonds, C-G via 3 hydrogen bonds). Two strands run antiparallel: 5' to 3' and 3' to 5'. ATP (adenosine triphosphate) releases ~30.5 kJ/mol when hydrolysed to ADP + Pi, catalysed by ATP hydrolase. DNA为双螺旋结构，脱氧核糖和磷酸骨架，碱基互补配对（A-T两个氢键，C-G三个氢键），两条链反向平行。
2. Cell Membranes and Transport 细胞膜与物质运输
The fluid mosaic model describes the plasma membrane: a phospholipid bilayer with embedded intrinsic proteins (span the bilayer) and extrinsic proteins (on the surface). Cholesterol molecules fit between phospholipids, regulating membrane fluidity: at high temperatures they restrict movement, at low temperatures they prevent packing too tightly. 流动镶嵌模型：磷脂双分子层中嵌有内在蛋白（跨膜）和外在蛋白（表面附着）。胆固醇分子调节膜的流动性，高温时限制运动，低温时防止过度紧实。
Four transport mechanisms to master: (1) Diffusion 扩散 - passive, down the concentration gradient, no protein needed; (2) Facilitated diffusion 协助扩散 - passive, through channel or carrier proteins; (3) Osmosis 渗透 - passive movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane from high to low water potential; (4) Active transport 主动运输 - against the concentration gradient, requires ATP and carrier proteins. Edexcel also expects you to explain co-transport 协同运输: sodium ions are actively pumped out of ileum epithelial cells, then Na+ and glucose enter together via a symport protein down the Na+ concentration gradient. 四种运输方式：扩散（被动沿浓度梯度），协助扩散（经通道/载体蛋白），渗透（水从高水势到低水势），主动运输（逆浓度梯度需ATP）。Edexcel还要求解释协同运输机制。
3. Enzymes 酶深度解析
Enzymes are globular proteins that act as biological catalysts by lowering activation energy. The induced fit model 诱导契合模型 replaces the older lock-and-key: the active site changes shape slightly as the substrate binds, forming enzyme-substrate complexes. Key to Edexcel papers: understand Vmax (maximum rate when all active sites are occupied) and Km (Michaelis constant, the substrate concentration at half Vmax). 酶是球状蛋白，通过降低活化能作为生物催化剂。诱导契合模型取代了锁钥模型：活性位点在底物结合时略微变形。
Inhibition 抑制作用: Competitive inhibitors have a similar shape to the substrate and bind to the active site, increasing Km but Vmax stays the same (adding more substrate overcomes inhibition). Non-competitive inhibitors bind at an allosteric site, changing the active site shape, so Vmax decreases but Km is unchanged. 竞争性抑制剂类似底物形状结合活性位点，增加Km但Vmax不变。非竞争性抑制剂结合变构位点改变活性位点形状，降低Vmax但Km不变。
4. DNA Replication and Protein Synthesis DNA复制与蛋白质合成
Semi-conservative replication 半保留复制: DNA helicase unwinds the double helix by breaking hydrogen bonds. DNA polymerase adds free nucleotides to the exposed template strands in the 5' to 3' direction. The leading strand is synthesised continuously; the lagging strand forms Okazaki fragments joined by DNA ligase. Meselson and Stahl confirmed semi-conservative replication using N-15/N-14 isotopes. DNA解旋酶断裂氢键解开双螺旋，DNA聚合酶沿5'到3'方向添加游离核苷酸。前导链连续合成，滞后链形成冈崎片段由DNA连接酶连接。
Protein synthesis 蛋白质合成: Transcription produces mRNA in the nucleus: RNA polymerase unwinds the gene, adding complementary RNA nucleotides (A-U, C-G). In eukaryotes, pre-mRNA is spliced to remove introns, leaving exons. Translation occurs on ribosomes: tRNA anticodons bind to mRNA codons, each bringing a specific amino acid. Peptide bonds form between adjacent amino acids. A stop codon (UAA, UAG, UGA) terminates translation. 转录在细胞核内产生mRNA，RNA聚合酶解开基因添加互补RNA核苷酸。真核生物中前体mRNA经剪接去除内含子保留外显子。翻译在核糖体上进行，tRNA反密码子与mRNA密码子配对。
5. Photosynthesis 光合作用
Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts: the light-dependent reaction on thylakoid membranes and the Calvin cycle in the stroma. Edexcel students must know both stages in detail. 光合作用在叶绿体中进行，光反应在类囊体膜上，卡尔文循环在基质中。
Light-dependent reaction 光反应: Chlorophyll in Photosystem II absorbs light, exciting electrons that pass through an electron transport chain (ETC). Photolysis of water (2H2O -> O2 + 4H+ + 4e-) replaces the lost electrons. The ETC pumps H+ into the thylakoid space, creating a proton gradient. H+ flows back through ATP synthase (chemiosmosis), generating ATP. Meanwhile, Photosystem I absorbs light and passes excited electrons to NADP+ via reduced NADP. 光系统II的叶绿素吸收光能激发电子经电子传递链传递。水的光解补充丢失的电子。ETC将H+泵入类囊体腔形成质子梯度，H+经ATP合酶回流产生ATP。光系统I将激发电子经还原型NADP传递给NADP+。
Calvin cycle 卡尔文循环: Carbon fixation: RuBP (5C) + CO2 -> 2x GP (3C), catalysed by rubisco. Reduction: GP is reduced to TP (triose phosphate) using ATP and reduced NADP from the light-dependent reaction. Regeneration: 5 out of every 6 TP molecules regenerate RuBP; 1 TP leaves to form glucose, amino acids, and lipids. 碳固定：RuBP+CO2在rubisco催化下生成2分子GP。还原：GP用ATP和还原型NADP还原为TP。再生：每6分子TP中有5分子再生RuBP，1分子用于合成葡萄糖等。
6. Respiration 呼吸作用
Glycolysis 糖酵解: Occurs in the cytoplasm. One glucose (6C) is phosphorylated twice (2 ATP consumed), then split into two triose phosphate (3C) molecules. Each triose phosphate is oxidised to pyruvate, producing 2 reduced NAD and 4 ATP (net gain: 2 ATP per glucose). 糖酵解在细胞质中进行，一个葡萄糖磷酸化后分裂为两个丙糖磷酸，氧化为丙酮酸，净产2 ATP和2还原型NAD。
Link reaction + Krebs cycle 连接反应+克雷布斯循环: In the mitochondrial matrix, pyruvate is decarboxylated and oxidised to acetyl CoA (2C), producing reduced NAD and CO2. Acetyl CoA combines with oxaloacetate (4C) to form citrate (6C), which undergoes a series of decarboxylation and oxidation reactions, regenerating oxaloacetate. Per glucose: 6 reduced NAD, 2 reduced FAD, 2 ATP (substrate-level), 4 CO2. 在线粒体基质中，丙酮酸脱羧氧化为乙酰辅酶A。乙酰辅酶A与草酰乙酸结合生成柠檬酸，经过脱羧和氧化再生草酰乙酸。每分子葡萄糖产生6还原型NAD、2还原型FAD、2 ATP。
Oxidative phosphorylation 氧化磷酸化: Reduced NAD and reduced FAD donate electrons to the ETC on the inner mitochondrial membrane (cristae). Electrons pass through a series of carriers, pumping H+ into the intermembrane space. H+ flows back via ATP synthase, generating ~34 ATP per glucose. Oxygen is the final electron acceptor, forming water: 1/2 O2 + 2H+ + 2e- -> H2O. 还原型NAD和FAD将电子传递给内膜电子传递链，H+泵入膜间腔，经ATP合酶回流产生约34 ATP。氧气作为最终电子受体生成水。
Anaerobic respiration 无氧呼吸: In the absence of oxygen, pyruvate is reduced to lactate (animals) or ethanol + CO2 (plants/yeast) using reduced NAD. Only 2 ATP net per glucose because oxidative phosphorylation cannot occur. 无氧条件下丙酮酸被还原为乳酸（动物）或乙醇+CO2（植物/酵母），仅净产2 ATP。
7. Exchange, Transport and Homeostasis 交换运输与稳态
Gas exchange 气体交换: Alveoli in mammalian lungs provide a large surface area, thin walls (one cell thick), rich capillary network, and steep concentration gradient maintained by ventilation and blood flow. Haemoglobin is a quaternary protein with four polypeptide chains, each containing a haem group with Fe2+ that binds O2. Cooperative binding: the first O2 binding changes haemoglobin shape, making subsequent binding easier, producing the sigmoidal dissociation curve. The Bohr effect: increased CO2 lowers pH, shifting the curve right, promoting O2 unloading at respiring tissues. 肺泡具有大表面积、薄壁、丰富毛细血管网和陡峭浓度梯度。血红蛋白为四级结构蛋白，每个亚基含血红素基团结合O2。协同结合产生S形解离曲线。波尔效应：CO2增加降低pH使曲线右移促进O2释放。
Blood glucose regulation 血糖调节: Beta cells in the islets of Langerhans secrete insulin when blood glucose is high, triggering glycogenesis (glucose -> glycogen in liver and muscle cells). Alpha cells secrete glucagon when blood glucose is low, triggering glycogenolysis (glycogen -> glucose) and gluconeogenesis (non-carbohydrate sources -> glucose). Type 1 diabetes: autoimmune destruction of beta cells, no insulin produced. 胰岛beta细胞在高血糖时分泌胰岛素促进糖原生成。alpha细胞在低血糖时分泌胰高血糖素促进糖原分解和糖异生。1型糖尿病为自身免疫破坏beta细胞。
Osmoregulation 渗透调节: Osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus detect low water potential in blood, triggering ADH release from the posterior pituitary. ADH increases collecting duct permeability by inserting aquaporins, allowing more water reabsorption. 下丘脑渗透压感受器检测低水势，触发垂体后叶释放ADH。ADH通过插入水通道蛋白增加集合管渗透性增加水重吸收。
8. Nervous Coordination and Classification 神经协调与分类
Action potential 动作电位: Resting potential (-70mV) is maintained by Na+/K+ pump (3 Na+ out, 2 K+ in per ATP). Depolarisation: voltage-gated Na+ channels open at threshold (-55mV), Na+ rushes in, potential rises to +40mV. Repolarisation: Na+ channels close, K+ channels open, K+ flows out. Hyperpolarisation: K+ channels slow to close, potential drops below -70mV. Saltatory conduction in myelinated neurons: action potentials jump between nodes of Ranvier, greatly increasing speed. 静息电位（-70mV）由Na+/K+泵维持。去极化：电压门控Na+通道在阈电位（-55mV）开放，Na+内流至+40mV。复极化：K+通道开放，K+外流。跳跃传导在有髓神经元中经郎飞结跳跃传导，显著加速。
Edexcel-specific: Classification 分类学: Edexcel Topic 3 covers the three-domain system (Archaea, Bacteria, Eukarya) and the five-kingdom system (Prokaryotae, Protoctista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia). Understand binomial nomenclature (Genus species), phylogenetic trees, and the use of DNA sequencing and molecular phylogeny in modern classification. Be able to evaluate evidence for evolution from comparative anatomy, DNA hybridisation, and immunological comparisons. Edexcel主题3涵盖三域系统（古菌、细菌、真核）和五界系统。理解双名法、系统发育树以及DNA测序和分子系统学在现代分类中的应用。
9. Genetics, Populations and Evolution 遗传种群与进化
Inheritance 遗传: Monohybrid crosses follow Mendel's 3:1 ratio for heterozygous parents. Dihybrid crosses produce 9:3:3:1 ratio. Sex linkage: genes on the X chromosome (but not Y) show different inheritance patterns in males (XY, only one allele) and females (XX, two alleles). Codominance: both alleles expressed equally (e.g., AB blood type). Multiple alleles: ABO blood group system (IA, IB, IO). 单杂交遵循孟德尔3:1比例。双杂交产生9:3:3:1比例。伴性遗传中X染色体上的基因在男性（XY，只有一个等位基因）和女性（XX，两个等位基因）表现不同。共显性：两等位基因同等表达。
Hardy-Weinberg principle 哈代-温伯格原理: p + q = 1 (allele frequencies) and p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1 (genotype frequencies), where p = dominant allele frequency and q = recessive allele frequency. Five conditions: large population, random mating, no mutations, no migration, no selection. Edexcel frequently tests this with real data. 哈代-温伯格原理要求五个条件：大种群、随机交配、无突变、无迁移、无选择。p+q=1（等位基因频率），p^2+2pq+q^2=1（基因型频率）。
Natural selection and speciation 自然选择与物种形成: Individuals with advantageous alleles survive and reproduce more, increasing allele frequency over generations. Allopatric speciation: geographical isolation prevents gene flow, populations evolve independently until they can no longer interbreed. Sympatric speciation: reproductive isolation without geographical separation (e.g., changes in flowering time, courtship behaviour). 具优势等位基因的个体生存繁殖更多，世代推移等位基因频率增加。异域物种形成：地理隔离阻止基因流动。同域物种形成：无地理隔离的生殖隔离。
