1. Cell Structure and Function | 细胞结构与功能
All living organisms are composed of cells. Eukaryotic cells, such as those of animals, plants and fungi, contain a distinct nucleus enclosed by a membrane, along with membrane-bound organelles. In contrast, prokaryotic cells (bacteria) lack a true nucleus and have circular DNA free in the cytoplasm.
所有生物体都由细胞组成。真核细胞，例如动物、植物和真菌细胞，含有由膜包被的明显细胞核，以及膜性细胞器。相比之下，原核细胞（细菌）没有真正的细胞核，其环状DNA游离在细胞质中。
Animal cells possess a nucleus that controls the cell's activities, cytoplasm where most chemical reactions occur, a cell membrane that controls the movement of substances, mitochondria for aerobic respiration, and ribosomes for protein synthesis. Plant cells additionally have a rigid cellulose cell wall, a large permanent vacuole containing cell sap, and chloroplasts that capture light energy for photosynthesis.
动物细胞具有控制细胞活动的细胞核、发生大多数化学反应的细胞质、控制物质进出的细胞膜、进行有氧呼吸的线粒体以及合成蛋白质的核糖体。植物细胞另外还有坚硬的纤维素细胞壁、含有细胞液的大液泡，以及捕获光能进行光合作用的叶绿体。
2. Movement Across Cell Membranes | 物质跨膜运输
Substances move into and out of cells through the cell membrane 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, and does not require energy.
物质通过扩散、渗透和主动运输穿过细胞膜进出细胞。扩散是粒子从高浓度区域向低浓度区域的净移动，沿浓度梯度进行，不需要能量。
Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules from a dilute solution to a more concentrated solution through a partially permeable membrane. Active transport, on the other hand, moves substances against the concentration gradient, from low to high concentration, using energy from ATP. This process is vital for mineral ion uptake in root hair cells.
渗透是水分子通过部分透膜从稀溶液向较浓溶液的扩散。而主动运输则是逆浓度梯度，从低浓度向高浓度移动物质，需要ATP提供的能量。这一过程对根毛细胞吸收矿质离子至关重要。
3. Biological Molecules | 生物分子
Carbohydrates, proteins and lipids are the main biological molecules tested in food samples. Starch and sugars are carbohydrates. Glucose is a simple sugar used in respiration. Proteins are made of amino acids and are essential for growth and repair. Lipids provide insulation and a long-term energy store.
碳水化合物、蛋白质和脂类是食物测试中主要的生物分子。淀粉和糖属于碳水化合物。葡萄糖是一种用于呼吸作用的单糖。蛋白质由氨基酸组成，对生长和修复至关重要。脂类提供绝缘和长期能量储存。
Food tests help identify these molecules: iodine solution turns blue-black in the presence of starch; Benedict's solution (heated with the sample) turns brick-red for reducing sugars; Biuret reagent turns purple for proteins; and the ethanol emulsion test produces a cloudy white layer for lipids.
食物测试可鉴别这些分子：碘液遇淀粉变为蓝黑色；本尼迪克特溶液（与样品共热）遇还原糖产生砖红色沉淀；双缩脲试剂遇蛋白质变成紫色；乙醇乳浊液测试则会在脂类存在时出现乳白色层。
4. Enzymes | 酶
Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up metabolic reactions without being used up. They are proteins with a specific active site complementary to their substrate, fitting the lock-and-key model. Each enzyme works best at its optimum pH and temperature.
酶是生物催化剂，能够加速代谢反应而自身不被消耗。它们是具有特定活性位点的蛋白质，活性位点与底物互补，符合锁钥模型。每种酶在其最适pH和最适温度下活性最高。
High temperatures or extreme pH values can denature the enzyme, changing the shape of the active site so the substrate can no longer bind. In the human digestive system, amylase breaks down starch into maltose, protease digests proteins into amino acids, and lipase converts lipids into fatty acids and glycerol.
高温或极端pH值会使酶变性，改变活性位点的形状，导致底物无法结合。在人体消化系统中，淀粉酶将淀粉分解为麦芽糖，蛋白酶将蛋白质消化为氨基酸，脂肪酶将脂类转化为脂肪酸和甘油。
5. Nutrition and Digestion | 营养与消化
A balanced diet provides carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins, minerals, water and dietary fibre. The digestive system breaks down large, insoluble food molecules into small, soluble ones that can be absorbed into the blood. Mechanical digestion, such as chewing, increases the surface area for enzyme action.
均衡膳食提供碳水化合物、蛋白质、脂类、维生素、矿物质、水和膳食纤维。消化系统将大型不溶性食物分子分解为可被血液吸收的小型可溶性分子。物理消化，如咀嚼，增大了酶作用的表面积。
The alimentary canal includes the mouth, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine and large intestine. In the stomach, hydrochloric acid kills bacteria and provides the optimum pH for protease. The small intestine is the main site for digestion and absorption; its inner lining has villi that increase the surface area to maximise nutrient uptake into the blood.
消化道包括口腔、食道、胃、小肠和大肠。在胃中，盐酸杀死细菌并为蛋白酶提供最适pH。小肠是消化和吸收的主要场所；其内壁有绒毛，增大了表面积，最大限度地促进营养物质进入血液。
6. The Respiratory System and Gas Exchange | 呼吸系统与气体交换
The respiratory system supplies oxygen for aerobic respiration and removes carbon dioxide. Air enters through the nose and mouth, passes down the trachea, bronchi and bronchioles, and finally reaches the alveoli – tiny air sacs surrounded by capillaries where gas exchange occurs.
呼吸系统为有氧呼吸提供氧气并排出二氧化碳。空气通过鼻腔和口腔进入，沿着气管、支气管和细支气管下行，最终到达肺泡——被毛细血管包围的微小气腔，气体交换即在此进行。
Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli into the blood, while carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the alveoli to be exhaled. The alveoli have thin, moist walls and a large surface area, which makes diffusion efficient. Breathing movements – inhalation and exhalation – are controlled by the diaphragm and intercostal muscles.
氧气从肺泡扩散进入血液，而二氧化碳从血液扩散到肺泡被呼出。肺泡壁薄而湿润，表面积大，使得扩散高效。呼吸动作——吸气和呼气——由膈肌和肋间肌控制。
7. The Circulatory System | 循环系统
The human circulatory system consists of the heart, blood vessels and blood. The heart is a double pump: the right side pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs, while the left side pumps oxygenated blood to the rest of the body. Valves prevent backflow of blood.
人体循环系统由心脏、血管和血液组成。心脏是一个双泵：右侧将缺氧血泵至肺部，左侧将富氧血泵至全身各处。瓣膜可防止血液倒流。
Arteries carry blood away from the heart under high pressure; they have thick, muscular walls. Veins return blood to the heart at lower pressure and contain valves. Capillaries are tiny, thin-walled vessels that allow exchange of substances with tissues. Blood contains red blood cells (carry oxygen via haemoglobin), white blood cells (defence) and platelets (clotting).
动脉高压下将血液从心脏运出，管壁厚而富有肌肉层。静脉在较低压力下将血液送回心脏，并含有瓣膜。毛细血管是微小、壁薄的血管，与组织进行物质交换。血液含有红细胞（通过血红蛋白运输氧气）、白细胞（防御）和血小板（凝血）。
8. Excretion and Homeostasis | 排泄与稳态
Excretion is the removal of metabolic waste products, such as carbon dioxide from the lungs and urea from the kidneys. Homeostasis is the maintenance of a constant internal environment, including regulating body temperature and blood glucose levels.
排泄是代谢废物的去除，例如通过肺排出二氧化碳和通过肾脏排出尿素。稳态是指维持稳定的内环境，包括调节体温和血糖水平。
The kidneys filter blood, reabsorb useful substances like glucose and some water, and produce urine containing urea and excess water. The hormone insulin, produced by the pancreas, lowers blood glucose by converting glucose into glycogen stored in the liver. The skin also contributes to homeostasis by sweating to cool the body and by vasodilation or vasoconstriction of blood vessels.
肾脏会过滤血液，重吸收有用物质如葡萄糖和部分水，并产生含有尿素和多余水分的尿液。胰腺分泌的激素胰岛素通过将葡萄糖转化为储存在肝脏中的糖原来降低血糖。皮肤也通过出汗降温以及血管舒张或收缩来参与稳态调节。
9. Plant Transport Systems | 植物运输系统
Plants have two transport tissues: xylem and phloem. Xylem vessels are made of dead cells arranged end to end to form continuous tubes; they transport water and dissolved mineral ions from the roots to the leaves. The movement of water through the xylem is called the transpiration stream and is driven by evaporation from the leaves.
植物有两种运输组织：木质部和韧皮部。木质部导管由死细胞端端相连形成连续管道；它们将水和溶解的矿质离子从根部运输到叶片。水在木质部中的流动称为蒸腾流，由叶片蒸发驱动。
Phloem tissue consists of living sieve tube elements and companion cells. It transports sucrose and amino acids from sources (e.g. leaves) to sinks (e.g. roots and growing tips) in a process called translocation. The rate of transpiration is affected by light intensity, temperature, humidity and wind speed.
韧皮部组织由活的筛管分子和伴胞组成。它将蔗糖和氨基酸从源（例如叶片）运输到库（例如根和生长点），此过程称为输导。蒸腾速率受光照强度、温度、湿度和风速的影响。
10. Photosynthesis | 光合作用
xygen. Chlorophyll inside chloroplasts absorbs light energy. The overall word equation is: carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen, with light energy and chlorophyll required.
光合作用是绿色植物和某些其他生物利用光能将二氧化碳和水转化为葡萄糖和氧气的过程。叶绿体内的叶绿素吸收光能。总文字方程式为：二氧化碳 + 水 → 葡萄糖 + 氧气，需要光能和叶绿素参与。
6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
The rate of photosynthesis can be limited by light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration and temperature. Glucose produced is used in respiration, converted into starch for storage, or used to build cellulose for cell walls and proteins for growth.
光合作用的速率可能受光照强度、二氧化碳浓度和温度的限制。产生的葡萄糖可用于呼吸作用、转化为淀粉储存，或用于构建细胞壁的纤维素和用于生长的蛋白质。
