1. Cells and Organelles | 细胞与细胞器
All living organisms are made of cells. Animal cells have a nucleus that stores DNA, cytoplasm where chemical reactions occur, a cell membrane that controls what enters and exits, mitochondria for aerobic respiration, and ribosomes for protein synthesis. Plant cells share these organelles but also possess a rigid cellulose cell wall, a large permanent vacuole filled with cell sap, and chloroplasts containing chlorophyll to absorb light for photosynthesis.
所有生物都由细胞构成。动物细胞有储存 DNA 的细胞核、进行化学反应的细胞质、控制物质进出的细胞膜、负责有氧呼吸的线粒体，以及合成蛋白质的核糖体。植物细胞除了这些细胞器，还有坚硬的纤维素细胞壁、充满细胞液的大液泡，以及含有叶绿素并可吸收光能进行光合作用的叶绿体。
The main roles can be summarised simply: Cell membrane – selective barrier; Nucleus – control centre; Cytoplasm – site of metabolic reactions; Mitochondria – release energy; Ribosomes – build proteins; Cell wall – support and shape; Vacuole – maintains turgor; Chloroplasts – trap light energy.
各结构的功能可简要概括：细胞膜——选择性屏障；细胞核——控制中心；细胞质——代谢反应场所；线粒体——释放能量；核糖体——合成蛋白质；细胞壁——支撑并维持形状；液泡——维持膨压；叶绿体——捕获光能。
2. Specialised Cells | 特化细胞
As organisms grow, cells differentiate to become specialised for particular functions. A sperm cell has a flagellum (tail) to swim and many mitochondria to supply energy. A nerve cell is long and branched, allowing rapid transmission of electrical impulses. Red blood cells are biconcave discs with no nucleus; they contain haemoglobin to carry oxygen efficiently.
随着生物体的生长，细胞会发生分化，特化以适应特定功能。精细胞具有鞭毛（尾部）用于游动，并有大量线粒体提供能量。神经细胞细长且有分支，可快速传递电信号。红细胞呈双凹圆盘状、无细胞核，含有血红素以便高效运输氧气。
In plants, root hair cells have a long, thin projection that greatly increases surface area for absorbing water and minerals. Palisade mesophyll cells are tightly packed and filled with chloroplasts, positioning them perfectly for maximum light absorption in the leaf.
在植物中，根毛细胞有一个细长的突起，极大增加了吸收水分和矿物质离子的表面积。栅栏叶肉细胞排列紧密且充满叶绿体，使其在叶片中处于理想位置，以最大限度吸收光能。
3. Diffusion and Osmosis | 扩散与渗透
Diffusion is the net movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration, down a concentration gradient. It is a passive process, meaning it requires no energy. Examples include oxygen moving from lung alveoli into blood and carbon dioxide moving out of respiring cells into the bloodstream.
扩散是粒子从高浓度区域净移动到低浓度区域的过程，顺着浓度梯度进行。这是一种被动过程，不需要消耗能量。例如，氧气从肺泡扩散到血液中，二氧化碳从呼吸细胞扩散到血流中。
Osmosis is a special type of diffusion – it is the movement of water molecules through a partially permeable membrane from a dilute solution to a more concentrated one. Plant roots absorb water by osmosis, and animal cells can shrink or burst depending on the surrounding solution concentration.
渗透是一种特殊的扩散——它是水分子通过部分通透膜，从稀释溶液向较浓溶液移动的过程。植物根部通过渗透吸收水分，动物细胞则可能因周围溶液浓度不同而皱缩或胀破。
4. Levels of Organisation | 组织层次
Living organisms have a hierarchy of organisation. Specialised cells group together to form tissues – for example, muscle tissue contracts to cause movement. Tissues work together to build organs, such as the heart, which pumps blood. Organs are organised into organ systems, like the circulatory system, which transports substances around the body. Several organ systems together make up an organism.
生物体具有层次结构。特化的细胞聚集形成组织，例如肌肉组织收缩以产生运动。不同类型组织共同组成器官，如心脏这个泵血器官。器官再构成器官系统，比如循环系统负责在体内运输物质。多个器官系统协同工作便构成为一个完整的生物体。
In plants, palisade tissue carries out photosynthesis, and together with spongy mesophyll and epidermal tissues, they form the leaf organ. The leaf is part of the shoot system that also includes stems and flowers.
在植物中，栅栏组织执行光合作用，它与海绵组织和表皮组织共同构成叶这个器官。叶属于地上部系统，该系统还包含茎和花。
5. Digestive System and Enzymes | 消化系统与酶
The digestive system breaks down large, insoluble food molecules into small, soluble ones that can be absorbed into the blood. Food passes through the mouth, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and rectum. The liver and pancreas produce secretions that aid digestion.
消化系统将大分子、不溶性的食物分解为可溶的小分子，以便吸收进入血液。食物依次经过口腔、食道、胃、小肠、大肠和直肠。肝脏与胰腺分泌消化液以辅助消化。
Enzymes are biological catalysts made of protein. Each enzyme has an active site that fits a specific substrate, described by the lock-and-key model. Amylase breaks down starch into maltose, protease breaks proteins into amino acids, and lipase breaks fats into fatty acids and glycerol. Bile, produced by the liver, emulsifies fats to increase their surface area for lipase action. Enzymes work best at their optimum pH and temperature; high temperatures can denature them, changing the shape of the active site.
酶是由蛋白质构成的生物催化剂。每种酶都有一个活性部位，能与特定的底物结合，这可以用锁钥模型来描述。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，脂肪酶将脂肪分解为脂肪酸和甘油。肝脏分泌的胆汁能乳化脂肪，增大其表面积，利于脂肪酶发挥作用。酶在其最适 pH 和温度下活性最高；高温会使酶变性，改变活性部位的形状。
6. Cellular Respiration | 细胞呼吸
n: glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water (+ energy released). The balanced chemical equation is:
细胞呼吸从葡萄糖中释放能量，供细胞进行生命活动。有氧呼吸需要氧气，其文字方程式为：葡萄糖 + 氧气 → 二氧化碳 + 水（+ 释放能量）。配平的化学方程式如下：
C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy
Anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen. In animals, it produces lactic acid and a small amount of energy; during vigorous exercise, lactic acid builds up and causes muscle fatigue. In yeast and some plants, anaerobic respiration produces ethanol, carbon dioxide and energy. This is exploited in baking and brewing.
无氧呼吸在缺氧条件下进行。在动物体内，它产生乳酸与少量能量；剧烈运动时乳酸堆积，引起肌肉疲劳。在酵母和某些植物中，无氧呼吸产生乙醇、二氧化碳与能量。这一过程被用于烘焙与酿酒。
7. The Respiratory System and Gas Exchange | 呼吸系统与气体交换
The human respiratory system consists of the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and millions of tiny air sacs called alveoli. Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli: oxygen diffuses from the air into the blood, and carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the air to be exhaled.
人体呼吸系统由气管、支气管、细支气管和数百万个称为肺泡的微小气囊组成。气体交换发生在肺泡中：氧气从空气扩散到血液，二氧化碳从血液扩散到空气中被呼出。
Ventilation involves the diaphragm and intercostal muscles. During inhalation, the diaphragm contracts and flattens, and the intercostal muscles raise the ribs upward and outward. This increases chest volume, lowers pressure, and draws air in. During exhalation, the opposite occurs: the diaphragm relaxes, the ribs move down, volume decreases and pressure rises, pushing air out. Alveoli are adapted for exchange by having a large surface area, thin walls, and a dense network of capillaries.
通气过程依赖膈肌和肋间肌。吸气时，膈肌收缩变平，肋间肌使肋骨上提外扩，胸腔容积增大、压力降低，空气被吸入。呼气时相反：膈肌舒张，肋骨下降，容积减小、压力升高，气体被排出。肺泡适应气体交换的特点是表面积大、壁极薄，并有丰富的毛细血管网。
8. Photosynthesis | 光合作用
Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some algae use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Chlorophyll in chloroplasts absorbs sunlight, primarily red and blue wavelengths, to drive this endothermic reaction. The overall chemical equation is:
光合作用是绿色植物和某些藻类利用光能，将二氧化碳和水转化为葡萄糖和氧气的过程。叶绿体中的叶绿素主要吸收红光和蓝光，驱动这一需能反应。总化学方程式如下：
6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
The rate of photosynthesis is affected by light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration and temperature. At low levels, any one of these can act as a limiting factor. The glucose produced is used for respiration, converted into starch for storage, or combined into cellulose for cell walls and proteins for growth (with nitrates from the soil).
光合作用速率受光照强度、二氧化碳浓度和温度的影响。在较低水平时，其中任何一个都可能成为限制因子。生成的葡萄糖可用于呼吸作用，转化为淀粉储存，或合成细胞壁所需的纤维素，以及与土壤中的硝酸根离子一起合成蛋白质，供植物生长。
9. Transport in Plants | 植物体内的运输
Plants have two distinct transport systems: xylem and phloem. Xylem vessels are hollow tubes made of dead cells, strengthened by lignin. They transport water and dissolved mineral ions from roots to leaves in a one-way flow called the transpiration stream. Water is pulled up as it evaporates from leaf surfaces (transpiration).
植物有两种不同的运输系统：木质部和韧皮部。木质部导管是由死细胞构成的空心管道，由木质素加固。它们将水和溶解的矿物质离子从根部单向运输到叶片，形成所谓的蒸腾流。水分因叶片表面蒸发（蒸腾作用）而被向上拉动。
Phloem consists of living cells arranged end to end, with sieve plates between them. Phloem transports sugars (mainly sucrose) and amino acids from sources (e.g. leaves) to sinks (e.g. growing tips and storage organs) in a process called translocation. This transport is bidirectional and requires energy.
韧皮部由活细胞首尾相接组成，中间有筛板。韧皮部将糖类（主要是蔗糖）和氨基酸从源（如叶片）运输到库（如生长点和贮藏器官），这一过程称为转运，可双向进行并消耗能量。
10. Ecosystems and Food Chains | 生态系统与食物链
e feeding relationships between organisms. Arrows represent the direction of energy transfer. A simple example: grass → rabbit → fox.
生态系统包含一个栖息地中的所有生物（群落）以及影响它们的非生物因素。食物链显示生物间的摄食关系，箭头表示能量传递的方向。简单例子：草 → 兔 → 狐狸。
Producers, usually green plants, make their own food by photosynthesis. Primary consumers eat producers, and secondary consumers eat primary consumers. Food webs consist of many interlinked food chains, showing how energy flows through an ecosystem more realistically. Pyramids of number, biomass and energy provide quantitative descriptions of feeding tiers.
生产者通常是绿色植物，它们通过光合作用制造自身食物。初级消费者取食生产者，次级消费者取食初级消费者。食物网由许多相互连接的食物链组成，更真实地反映生态系统中能量的流动。数量金字塔、生物量金字塔和能量金字塔则定量描述营养层级的关系。
11. Bioaccumulation and Human Impact | 生物积累与人类影响
Bioaccumulation occurs when a toxic substance, such as a pesticide or heavy metal, builds up in an organism because it is absorbed faster than it is excreted. In food chains, biomagnification happens. For example, DDT sprayed on crops can be ingested by small animals, and as predators eat many contaminated prey, the toxin concentration increases dramatically at higher trophic levels, often harming top consumers.
生物积累是指有毒物质（如农药或重金属）在生物体内因吸收速率快于排出速率而逐渐累积的现象。在食物链中，这会导致生物放大。例如，喷洒在作物上的 DDT 被小动物摄入，而捕食者吃掉许多受污染的猎物，使得毒素浓度在较高营养级急剧升高，常常伤害顶级消费者。
Human activities also affect ecosystems. Deforestation reduces biodiversity and carbon dioxide absorption. Burning fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases, contributing to climate change. Pollution of water and soil harms habitats. Sustainability measures, such as conservation, recycling and using renewable energy, aim to reduce negative impacts and protect the environment for future generations.
人类活动同样影响生态系统。森林砍伐减少生物多样性并降低二氧化碳吸收。燃烧化石燃料释放温室气体，加剧气候变化。水体和土壤污染破坏栖息地。保护环境、回收利用和使用可再生能源等可持续措施，旨在减少负面影响，为子孙后代保护环境。
12. Microorganisms and Health | 微生物与健康
Microorganisms include bacteria, viruses, fungi and protoctists. Some are helpful, like gut bacteria that aid digestion, but others are pathogens that cause disease. Pathogens can be transmitted through the air (droplet infection), direct contact, contaminated food and water, or vectors such as mosquitoes. Bacteria can reproduce rapidly and release toxins; viruses invade host cells and destroy them as they replicate.
微生物包括细菌、病毒、真菌和原生生物。有些是有益的，如帮助消化的肠道细菌，但另一些是引起疾病的病原体。病原体可通过空气（飞沫传播）、直接接触、受污染的食物和水，或蚊子等载体传播。细菌能快速繁殖并释放毒素；病毒侵入宿主细胞并在复制过程中将其破坏。
The body has several defence mechanisms. The skin acts as a physical barrier, mucus traps pathogens, and stomach acid kills many ingested microbes. White blood cells engulf pathogens (phagocytosis) and produce antibodies that target specific antigens. Vaccination stimulates antibody production, providing immunity without causing illness. Antibiotics can kill bacteria but are ineffective against viruses.
人体有多种防御机制。皮肤是物理屏障，黏液能粘住病原体，胃酸可杀灭众多摄入的微生物。白细胞通过吞噬作用吞食病原体，并产生针对特定抗原的抗体。疫苗接种可刺激抗体产生，在不引发疾病的情况下提供免疫力。抗生素能杀死细菌，但对病毒无效。
