想在生物第一年取得好成绩,关键在于打牢对基础概念和过程的理解。本文以简洁的中英双语形式拆解最重要考点——从细胞结构到遗传学,帮助你高效复习、提升成绩。


1. Cell Structure and Function | 细胞结构与功能

Eukaryotic cells possess a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. The nucleus houses DNA and orchestrates transcription, while mitochondria perform aerobic respiration to produce ATP.

真核细胞拥有真正的细胞核和膜包裹的细胞器。细胞核储存DNA并调控转录,线粒体则进行有氧呼吸产生ATP。

Ribosomes, made of rRNA and protein, are the sites of translation. The rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) processes proteins, and the smooth ER synthesises lipids.

核糖体由rRNA和蛋白质组成,是翻译的场所。粗面内质网(RER)加工蛋白质,光面内质网合成脂类。

Prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, lack a nucleus; their circular DNA floats in the cytoplasm. They also have 70S ribosomes, a cell wall containing peptidoglycan, and may possess flagella.

原核细胞(如细菌)没有细胞核,环状DNA游离在细胞质中。它们含有70S核糖体、由肽聚糖构成的细胞壁,并可能具有鞭毛。

Organelle Key Function
Nucleus Stores genetic material; controls cell activities
Mitochondrion Aerobic respiration; ATP synthesis
Ribosome Protein synthesis (translation)
Chloroplast (plant) Photosynthesis

细胞器功能速查:细胞核储存遗传物质并控制细胞活动,线粒体完成有氧呼吸合成ATP,核糖体进行蛋白质翻译,叶绿体(植物)执行光合作用。


2. Biological Molecules | 生物分子

Carbohydrates are composed of monosaccharides (e.g. glucose) linked by glycosidic bonds. Starch and glycogen are storage polysaccharides; cellulose provides structural support in plant cell walls.

碳水化合物由单糖(如葡萄糖)通过糖苷键连接而成。淀粉和糖原是多糖储存形式,纤维素则为植物细胞壁提供结构支撑。

Lipids include triglycerides (one glycerol + three fatty acids joined by ester bonds) and phospholipids, which form the bilayer of cell membranes. Unsaturated fatty acids contain double bonds that create kinks.

脂类包括甘油三酯(一个甘油+三个脂肪酸,酯键连接)以及构成细胞膜双层的磷脂。不饱和脂肪酸含有双键,导致烃链弯曲。

Proteins are polymers of amino acids joined by peptide bonds. The sequence (primary structure) folds into α‑helices and β‑pleated sheets (secondary), then into a unique 3D shape (tertiary) stabilised by hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, and disulfide bridges.

蛋白质是氨基酸通过肽键连接而成的多聚体。一级结构序列折叠形成α‑螺旋和β‑折叠(二级结构),再进一步盘绕成独特的三维构象(三级结构),靠氢键、离子键和二硫键稳定。


3. Enzymes | 酶

Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower activation energy. The active site is complementary to the substrate; the induced‑fit model describes how the active site changes shape to grip the substrate firmly.

酶是降低活化能的生物催化剂。活性中心与底物互补;诱导契合模型描述了活性中心如何改变形状以紧紧抓住底物。

Enzyme activity is affected by temperature, pH, substrate concentration, and inhibitors. At very high temperatures or extreme pH, denaturation irreversibly changes the active site.

酶活性受温度、pH、底物浓度和抑制剂的影响。在极高温度或极端pH下,活性中心发生不可逆的变性。

Competitive inhibitors resemble the substrate and bind to the active site, while non‑competitive inhibitors attach elsewhere and change the enzyme’s shape.

竞争性抑制剂与底物结构相似,结合到活性中心;非竞争性抑制剂则在其他位点结合,改变酶的形状。

v = Vₘₐₓ[S] / (Kₘ + [S])    (Michaelis–Menten equation)

v = Vₘₐₓ[S] / (Kₘ + [S])    (米氏方程)


4. Cell Membranes and Transport | 细胞膜与运输

The fluid‑mosaic model describes a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins, cholesterol (in animal cells), and glycoproteins. The membrane is selectively permeable.

流动镶嵌模型:磷脂双分子层中镶嵌着蛋白质、胆固醇(动物细胞)和糖蛋白。细胞膜具有选择透过性。

Passive transport includes simple diffusion of small non‑polar molecules, facilitated diffusion via channel or carrier proteins, and osmosis (water movement across a partially permeable membrane down the water potential gradient).

被动运输包括小分子非极性物质的简单扩散、通过通道蛋白或载体蛋白的协助扩散,以及渗透作用(水沿水势梯度穿过部分透性膜)。

Active transport requires ATP to move substances against their concentration gradient. Bulk transport (endocytosis and exocytosis) uses vesicles to move large particles.

主动运输需要ATP将物质逆浓度梯度转运。胞吞和胞吐利用囊泡运输大颗粒物质。


5. Cell Division: Mitosis and Meiosis | 细胞分裂:有丝分裂与减数分裂

Mitosis produces two genetically identical diploid daughter cells. Stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase (PMAT). Cytokinesis splits the cytoplasm.

有丝分裂产生两个遗传上相同的二倍体子细胞。阶段:前期、中期、后期、末期(PMAT)。胞质分裂将细胞质分开。

Meiosis involves two divisions and produces four haploid gametes. Crossing over in prophase I and independent assortment in metaphase I generate genetic variation.

减数分裂包含两次分裂,产生四个单倍体配子。前期I的交叉互换和中期I的独立分配产生遗传变异。

Uncontrolled mitosis can lead to tumours. Cancer treatments often target rapidly dividing cells.

有丝分裂失控可导致肿瘤。癌症治疗常针对快速分裂的细胞。


6. Nucleic Acids and DNA Replication | 核酸与DNA复制

DNA is a double helix of antiparallel strands held by hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs (A‑T, C‑G). RNA is usually single‑stranded and contains uracil instead of thymine.

DNA是一种双螺旋结构,两条反向平行的链通过互补碱基对(A‑T、C‑G)之间的氢键维系。RNA通常单链,含尿嘧啶代替胸腺嘧啶。

DNA replication is semi‑conservative. Helicase unwinds the double helix; DNA polymerase adds complementary nucleotides in the 5′→3′ direction, forming a leading strand continuously and a lagging strand in Okazaki fragments.

DNA复制是半保留复制。解旋酶解开双螺旋;DNA聚合酶沿5′→3′方向添加互补核苷酸,连续合成前导链,随后合成后随链(形成冈崎片段)。


7. Protein Synthesis | 蛋白质合成

Transcription occurs in the nucleus. RNA polymerase synthesises pre‑mRNA complementary to the template strand of DNA. In eukaryotes, introns are spliced out to form mature mRNA.

转录在细胞核内进行。RNA聚合酶以DNA模板链合成前体mRNA。在真核生物中,内含子被切除形成成熟的mRNA。

Translation happens on ribosomes. tRNA molecules carry specific amino acids; their anticodons base‑pair with mRNA codons. Peptide bonds form between adjacent amino acids, creating a polypeptide chain.

翻译在核糖体上进行。tRNA携带特定氨基酸,其反密码子与mRNA密码子配对。相邻氨基酸之间形成肽键,延伸多肽链。


8. Genetics and Inheritance | 遗传与遗传规律

Monohybrid crosses follow Mendel’s law of segregation. A Punnett square predicts genotype and phenotype ratios. Dominant alleles mask recessive ones in heterozygotes.

单因子杂交遵循孟德尔分离定律。旁氏表可预测基因型与表现型比例。杂合子中显性等位基因掩盖隐性等位基因。

Codominance and incomplete dominance show blending or dual expression. Sex‑linked traits (e.g. colour blindness) are carried on the X chromosome and display different inheritance patterns in males and females.

共显性和不完全显性呈现混合或双表达。伴性性状(如色盲)由X染色体携带,在男性和女性中呈现不同的遗传模式。

Pedigree analysis helps trace inheritance of traits through generations. Genetic diagrams and probability calculations are essential for solving exam problems.

系谱分析有助于追踪世代间的性状遗传。遗传图解和概率计算是解决考题的关键。


9. Biodiversity and Classification | 生物多样性与分类

Species are defined as groups of organisms that can interbreed to produce fertile offspring. The hierarchical classification system: domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.

物种定义为能够相互交配并产生可育后代的生物群体。分类层级系统:域、界、门、纲、目、科、属、种。

Phylogenetic trees show evolutionary relationships based on common ancestry. Molecular evidence (DNA sequencing, amino acid sequences) is now used alongside morphology to refine classification.

系统发育树基于共同祖先展示进化关系。分子证据(DNA测序、氨基酸序列)现已与形态学结合用于完善分类。

Biodiversity can be measured using species richness and Simpson’s Index of Diversity. Conservation efforts rely on understanding genetic, species, and ecosystem diversity.

生物多样性可用物种丰富度和辛普森多样性指数衡量。保护工作依赖于对遗传多样性、物种多样性和生态系统多样性的理解。


10. Exchange and Transport | 交换与运输

Small organisms can rely on diffusion across their surface for gas exchange, but larger organisms need specialised exchange surfaces and transport systems. Features of efficient exchange surfaces include a large surface area, thin layers, rich blood supply, and ventilation.

小型生物可通过体表扩散进行气体交换,较大的生物则需要特化的交换面和运输系统。高效交换面的特征包括:较大的表面积、薄层、丰富的血液供应和通风。

In mammals, haemoglobin in red blood cells binds oxygen cooperatively. The Bohr effect shifts the oxygen‑dissociation curve to the right at higher CO₂ concentrations, promoting oxygen unloading in active tissues.

在哺乳动物中,红细胞中的血红蛋白协同结合氧气。波尔效应使氧解离曲线在高CO₂浓度下右移,促进氧气在活跃组织中的释放。

In plants, xylem transports water and mineral ions via transpiration pull, cohesion, and adhesion. Phloem moves sucrose and amino acids by mass flow from sources to sinks.

植物中,木质部通过蒸腾拉力、内聚力和附着力运输水和矿物质离子。韧皮部通过集流将蔗糖和氨基酸从源运输到库。
