The Year 9 CIE Biology curriculum marks the start of the IGCSE journey, laying a solid foundation in key biological concepts that will be examined in Papers 1–6 of the 0610/0970 syllabuses. This comprehensive guide breaks down the syllabus content typically covered in the first year of the course, helping students understand what to expect and how to prepare effectively.
Year 9 CIE 生物课程标志着 IGCSE 学习之旅的开启，为 0610/0970 考纲中关键生物概念打下坚实基础。本文全面解析该课程第一学年通常涵盖的教学大纲内容，帮助学生明确学习目标并有效备考。
1. Characteristics of Living Organisms | 生物的特征
All living organisms share seven life processes known by the acronym MRS GREN: Movement, Respiration, Sensitivity, Growth, Reproduction, Excretion and Nutrition. Understanding these characteristics is fundamental because they define what it means to be alive and are used to distinguish living things from non‑living matter in every topic that follows.
所有生物都具有可通过首字母缩写 MRS GREN 来记忆的七个生命过程：运动、呼吸、感应、生长、繁殖、排泄和营养。理解这些特征是整个课程的基础，因为它们界定了生命的含义，并用于在后续各个主题中区分生物与非生物。
2. Classification of Living Organisms | 生物的分类
Organisms are grouped into a hierarchical system: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus and Species. The CIE syllabus focuses on the five kingdoms — Animals, Plants, Fungi, Prokaryotes (bacteria) and Protoctists — and expects you to use the binomial naming system (e.g. Homo sapiens) as well as to describe the main features of each kingdom and of the major vertebrate classes: fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals.
生物按照界、门、纲、目、科、属、种的等级系统进行分类。CIE 考纲重点关注五个界——动物界、植物界、真菌界、原核生物界（细菌）和原生生物界——并要求学生掌握双名命名法（例如 Homo sapiens），并能描述各界的以及主要脊椎动物纲（鱼类、两栖类、爬行类、鸟类和哺乳类）的关键特征。
3. Cell Structure and Organisation | 细胞结构与组织层次
All organisms are built from cells. You must be able to compare the structures of typical animal and plant cells as seen under a light microscope. Key organelles include the nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria, ribosomes and, in plant cells, the cellulose cell wall, large permanent vacuole and chloroplasts. The syllabus then scales up to tissues, organs and organ systems, using examples such as the leaf, the heart and the digestive system.
所有生物体均由细胞构成。学生需要能比较光学显微镜下典型动物细胞和植物细胞的结构。关键细胞器包括细胞核、细胞质、细胞膜、线粒体、核糖体，以及植物细胞特有的纤维素细胞壁、大液泡和叶绿体。在此基础之上，考纲进一步延伸到组织、器官和器官系统层次，常以叶片、心脏和消化系统为例。
4. Movement Across Cell Membranes | 物质跨膜运输
Substances move into and out of cells by diffusion, osmosis and active transport. Diffusion is the net movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration down a concentration gradient. Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules through a partially permeable membrane from a dilute solution to a more concentrated solution. Active transport requires energy from respiration to move substances against a concentration gradient, using carrier proteins.
物质通过扩散、渗透和主动运输进出细胞。扩散是指微粒沿浓度梯度从高浓度区域向低浓度区域的净移动。渗透是水分子通过半透膜从稀溶液向浓溶液的扩散。主动运输则需要呼吸作用提供的能量，利用载体蛋白逆浓度梯度转运物质。
5. Biological Molecules | 生物分子
The large biological molecules that make up living organisms are carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and DNA. You need to know the chemical elements present in each group: carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in carbohydrates and lipids; carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sometimes sulfur in proteins; and carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorus in DNA. The syllabus covers the roles of these molecules, the simple sugars and amino acids as their building blocks, and the emulsion test for lipids and the biuret test for proteins.
构成生物体的大分子生物物质包括碳水化合物、蛋白质、脂质和 DNA。需要知道各类分子所含的化学元素：碳水化合物和脂质含碳、氢、氧；蛋白质含碳、氢、氧、氮，有时含硫；DNA 含碳、氢、氧、氮和磷。考纲涉及这些分子的作用，单糖和氨基酸作为其基本组成单位，以及检测脂质的乳状液试验和检测蛋白质的双缩脲试验。
6. Enzymes | 酶
Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts, speeding up metabolic reactions without being used up. Every enzyme has an active site that is complementary in shape to its specific substrate; this is the lock‑and‑key model. Factors affecting enzyme activity — temperature, pH and substrate concentration — are investigated through controlled experiments. Denaturation occurs when the active site loses its shape due to extreme heat or pH, stopping the enzyme from functioning.
酶是起生物催化剂作用的蛋白质，能在不被消耗的情况下加速代谢反应。每个酶都有一个与特定底物形状互补的活性位点，这被称为锁钥模型。影响酶活性的因素——温度、pH 和底物浓度——通过对照实验进行研究。当活性位点因极端温度或 pH 而失去原有形状时，酶发生变性，从而失去催化功能。
7. Plant Nutrition (Photosynthesis) | 植物营养（光合作用）
Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants produce glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water, using light energy trapped by chlorophyll. The word equation and balanced chemical equation must be memorised. Investigations include testing a leaf for starch, demonstrating that light, carbon dioxide and chlorophyll are necessary, and measuring the rate of photosynthesis with aquatic plants such as Elodea.
光合作用是绿色植物利用叶绿素捕获的光能，将二氧化碳和水转化为葡萄糖和氧气的过程。需牢记文字方程式和配平后的化学方程式。实验探究包括检测叶片中的淀粉、验证光、二氧化碳和叶绿素的必要性，以及利用伊乐藻等水生植物测定光合作用速率。
6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
8. Human Nutrition (Digestion) | 人体营养（消化）
The human digestive system breaks down large, insoluble food molecules into small, soluble ones that can be absorbed into the blood. Key structures include the mouth, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum and anus, together with the liver and pancreas as associated organs. Mechanical digestion (chewing, churning) and chemical digestion (enzymes) work together. Amylase breaks down starch into maltose, proteases break proteins into amino acids, and lipases break lipids into fatty acids and glycerol.
人体消化系统将不溶的大分子食物分解为可被血液吸收的可溶性小分子。关键结构包括口腔、食道、胃、小肠、大肠、直肠和肛门，以及作为附属器官的肝脏和胰腺。物理消化（咀嚼、搅拌）和化学消化（酶的作用）共同进行。淀粉酶将淀粉分解为麦芽糖，蛋白酶将蛋白质分解为氨基酸，脂肪酶将脂质分解为脂肪酸和甘油。
9. Transport in Plants | 植物体内的运输
Xylem vessels transport water and dissolved mineral ions from the roots to the leaves in the transpiration stream, driven mainly by the evaporation of water from leaf surfaces. Phloem sieve tubes transport sucrose and amino acids from sources (e.g. leaves) to sinks (e.g. roots, fruits) in a process called translocation. You should be able to identify these tissues in stem and root cross‑sections and explain how environmental factors (temperature, humidity, light, wind) affect transpiration rate using a potometer.
木质部导管在蒸腾流中将水和溶解的矿质离子从根部运输到叶片，其主要驱动力是叶片表面的水分蒸发。韧皮部筛管将蔗糖和氨基酸从源（如叶片）运输到库（如根、果实），这一过程称为转运。学生应能在茎和根的横切面中识别这些组织，并解释环境因素（温度、湿度、光照、风）如何利用蒸腾计影响蒸腾速率。
10. Transport in Animals | 动物体内的运输
The human circulatory system is a double circulation consisting of the heart, blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries) and blood. The heart has four chambers: right and left atria and right and left ventricles. You must describe the pathway of blood through the heart and relate the structure of arteries, veins and capillaries to their functions. Blood is composed of plasma, red blood cells (transport oxygen, contain haemoglobin), white blood cells (defence against pathogens) and platelets (blood clotting). The lymphatic system is also introduced as a means of returning tissue fluid to the blood.
人体循环系统是双循环系统，由心脏、血管（动脉、静脉和毛细血管）和血液组成。心脏有四个腔室：左心房、左心室、右心房和右心室。必须描述血液流经心脏的路径，并将动脉、静脉和毛细血管的结构与其功能联系起来。血液由血浆、红细胞（运输氧气，含血红蛋白）、白细胞（防御病原体）和血小板（血液凝固）组成。同时还会介绍淋巴系统如何将组织液送回血液。
