10. Answer Key and Explanations | 答案与解析
Answer 1: C. Nucleus. Prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, do not have a membrane-bound nucleus. Their DNA is circular and may include plasmids, and they possess a cell membrane. Therefore, a nucleus is not a feature.
答案 1： C. 细胞核。原核细胞（如细菌）没有膜包被的细胞核。其 DNA 是环状的，可能含有质粒，且具有细胞膜。因此细胞核不是原核细胞的特征。
Answer 2: (a) Sodium has 11 protons (equal to its atomic number). (b) Number of neutrons = mass number – atomic number = 23 – 11 = 12 neutrons. (c) Electronic configuration: 2,8,1 (first shell holds 2, second 8, and the remaining 1 goes in the third shell).
答案 2： (a) 钠原子有 11 个质子（等于其原子序数）。(b) 中子数 = 质量数 – 原子序数 = 23 – 11 = 12 个中子。(c) 电子排布：2,8,1（第一层容纳 2 个，第二层 8 个，剩余 1 个在第三层）。
Answer 3: Eₖ = ½ × 0.5 kg × (10 m/s)² = 0.5 × 0.5 × 100 = 25 J. The kinetic energy of the ball is 25 joules.
答案 3： Eₖ = ½ × 0.5 kg × (10 m/s)² = 0.5 × 0.5 × 100 = 25 J。该球的动能为 25 焦耳。
Answer 4: Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons from a metal atom to a non-metal atom, resulting in the formation of oppositely charged ions that are held together by strong electrostatic forces. Example: sodium chloride (NaCl). A typical property of ionic compounds is high melting point. Covalent bonding occurs when non-metal atoms share pairs of electrons, forming molecules. Example: water (H₂O).
答案 4： 离子键涉及金属原子将电子转移给非金属原子，形成带相反电荷的离子，并通过强大的静电引力结合在一起。例如：氯化钠 (NaCl)。离子化合物的一个典型性质是高熔点。共价键是当非金属原子之间共用电子对时形成的，构成分子。例如：水 (H₂O)。
Answer 5: The general pattern is that the prey population (hares) rises first, followed by a rise in the predator population (lynx). When the predator population becomes high, the prey population decreases, which eventually causes the predator population to decline due to lack of food. The time lag occurs because it takes time for the lynx to reproduce after increased food availability, and also for the hare population to decline after predation pressure increases.
答案 5： 总体规律是猎物种群（雪兔）先上升，随后捕食者种群（猞猁）上升。当捕食者数量很高时，猎物数量下降，最终导致捕食者因食物短缺而数量下降。出现时间滞后是因为猞猁在食物增加后需要时间繁殖，同样雪兔在捕食压力增大后数量下降也需要时间。
Answer 6: F = m × a = 1200 kg × 3 m/s² = 3600 N. The resultant force acting on the car is 3600 newtons.
答案 6： F = m × a = 1200 kg × 3 m/s² = 3600 N。作用在汽车上的合力为 3600 牛顿。
Answer 7: Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium from the vena cava. The right atrium contracts, pushing blood into the right ventricle. The right ventricle then pumps blood through the pulmonary artery to the lungs, where gas exchange occurs. Oxygenated blood returns via the pulmonary veins to the left atrium. From there it passes to the left ventricle, which contracts to send blood through the aorta to the rest of the body.
答案 7： 缺氧血从上腔静脉进入右心房。右心房收缩，将血液推入右心室。右心室随后通过肺动脉将血液泵入肺部进行气体交换。含氧血经肺静脉返回左心房，然后进入左心室，左心室收缩将血液经主动脉输送到全身。
Answer 8: (a) Acidic. (b) Lemon juice or stomach acid are acceptable examples. (c) Universal indicator would turn red (or pink/orange, accept red).
答案 8： (a) 酸性。(b) 可接受的例子包括柠檬汁或胃酸。(c) 通用指示剂会变为红色（或粉红色/橙色，红色为可接受答案）。
11. Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them | 常见错误及避免方法
Confusing prokaryotes and eukaryotes: Many students think bacteria have a nucleus. Remember, prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus; their DNA floats freely in the cytoplasm. Draw and label diagrams to reinforce the difference.
混淆原核和真核： 许多学生认为细菌有细胞核。请记住，原核细胞没有细胞核；其 DNA 游离在细胞质中。绘制并标注图示有助于强化区别。
Incorrect electron configurations: Be sure to fill the inner shells first. The first shell holds up to 2 electrons, the second up to 8, and the third up to 8 (for GCSE). Do not place electrons in higher shells before inners are full.
错误的电子排布： 务必先填满内层。第一层最多 2 个电子，第二层最多 8 个，第三层（
