1. Essential Biology Terms | 必备生物学术语
| Term | English Definition | 中文释义 |
|---|---|---|
| Cell | The smallest structural and functional unit of an organism, consisting of cytoplasm and a nucleus enclosed in a membrane. | 细胞：生物体结构和功能的最小单位，由细胞质和被膜包裹的细胞核组成。 |
| Nucleus | The membrane-bound organelle containing genetic material (DNA) that controls cell activities. | 细胞核：含有遗传物质(DNA)的膜结合细胞器，控制细胞活动。 |
| Cytoplasm | Jelly-like substance filling the cell where most chemical reactions occur. | 细胞质：填充细胞的胶状物质，大部分化学反应在此发生。 |
| Mitochondria | Organelles that carry out aerobic respiration to release energy for the cell. The singular is mitochondrion. | 线粒体：进行有氧呼吸以释放能量的细胞器。单数形式为mitochondrion。 |
| Chloroplast | Organelle found in plant cells containing chlorophyll where photosynthesis occurs. | 叶绿体：植物细胞中含有叶绿素的细胞器，光合作用发生的场所。 |
| Cell wall | Rigid outer layer of plant and bacterial cells providing support and shape; not found in animal cells. | 细胞壁：植物和细菌细胞的刚性外层，提供支撑和形状；动物细胞没有。 |
| Diffusion | The net movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to lower concentration, resulting in even distribution. | 扩散：粒子从高浓度区域向低浓度区域的净移动，导致均匀分布。 |
| Osmosis | Diffusion of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane from a more dilute solution to a more concentrated solution. | 渗透：水分子通过部分透性膜从较稀溶液向较浓溶液扩散的过程。 |
| Respiration | A chemical reaction in cells that releases energy from glucose. Aerobic respiration uses oxygen; anaerobic respiration does not. | 呼吸作用：细胞内利用葡萄糖释放能量的化学反应。有氧呼吸需要氧气；无氧呼吸不需要。 |
| Photosynthesis | The process by which plants and algae use light energy, carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen. | 光合作用：植物和藻类利用光能、二氧化碳和水生成葡萄糖和氧气的过程。 |
Memory tip: Break down tricky words: 'mitochondria' comes from Greek 'mitos' (thread) and 'chondrion' (granule) – under a microscope they look like tiny threads. 'Chloroplast' is built from 'chloro-' (green) and 'plast' (molded). Linking word origins to images makes recall easier.
记忆提示：拆解难词：'mitochondria' 来自希腊语 'mitos' (线)和 'chondrion' (颗粒) ——在显微镜下它们像细线。'Chloroplast' 由 'chloro-' (绿色) 和 'plast' (塑形) 构成。把词源与图像联系起来让回忆更容易。
2. Chemistry Basics: Atoms and Reactions | 化学基础：原子与反应
| Term | English Definition | 中文释义 |
|---|---|---|
| Atom | The smallest particle of a chemical element that can exist. | 原子：能独立存在的最小的化学元素粒子。 |
| Element | A pure substance made of only one type of atom, listed on the periodic table. | 元素：仅由一种原子组成的纯净物，列于周期表中。 |
| Compound | A substance formed when two or more elements are chemically bonded together. | 化合物：由两种或多种元素通过化学键结合而成的物质。 |
| Mixture | A combination of two or more substances not chemically joined; can be separated by physical methods. | 混合物：两种或多种未通过化学键结合的物质的混合；可用物理方法分离。 |
| Periodic table | A table of elements arranged by atomic number, showing periods (rows) and groups (columns). | 周期表：按原子序数排列的元素表，包括周期（行）和族（列）。 |
| Proton | A positively charged
