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

All living organisms are made of cells. Animal and plant cells share a nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria and ribosomes. Plant cells also have a cell wall, a large permanent vacuole and chloroplasts for photosynthesis.

所有生物都由细胞构成。动物细胞和植物细胞都含有细胞核、细胞质、细胞膜、线粒体和核糖体。植物细胞还特有细胞壁、中央大液泡和进行光合作用的叶绿体。

Organelle	Function	细胞器	功能
Nucleus	Contains DNA and controls cell activities	细胞核	含 DNA，控制细胞活动
Mitochondria	Site of aerobic respiration, releasing energy	线粒体	有氧呼吸场所，释放能量
Ribosomes	Protein synthesis	核糖体	合成蛋白质
Chloroplasts	Absorb light for photosynthesis (plants only)	叶绿体	吸收光能，进行光合作用（仅植物）
Cell wall	Provides support and shape (cellulose in plants)	细胞壁	支持和维持形状（植物为纤维素）

Remember that microscopes allow us to observe cells. Calculate magnification using: magnification = image size / actual size. Always convert units to the same scale before calculating.

记住，显微镜让我们观察到细胞。放大倍数 = 图像大小 / 实际大小。计算前务必统一单位。

2. Biological Molecules and Enzymes | 生物分子与酶

Carbohydrates, proteins and lipids are large biological molecules. Starch and glycogen are polysaccharides made of glucose units. Proteins are chains of amino acids folded into specific shapes. Enzymes are protein catalysts that speed up reactions without being used up.

碳水化合物、蛋白质和脂质是生物大分子。淀粉和糖原是由葡萄糖单元组成的多糖。蛋白质由氨基酸链折叠成特定形状。酶是蛋白质催化剂，加速反应而自身不被消耗。

Enzyme activity is affected by temperature and pH. Each enzyme has an optimum; extreme conditions denature the enzyme, changing the active site shape permanently.

酶活性受温度和 pH 影响。每种酶都有最适条件；极端条件使酶变性，活性位点永久改变。
The ‘lock and key’ model explains enzyme specificity. The substrate fits into the active site like a key in a lock.

“锁钥模型”解释酶的专一性：底物像钥匙一样插入活性位点。

Benedict’s test detects reducing sugars (blue to brick red on heating). Iodine solution turns blue-black for starch. Biuret test yields purple for proteins. Ethanol emulsion test gives a cloudy white layer for lipids.

本尼迪克特试剂检测还原糖（加热后由蓝变砖红色）。碘液遇淀粉变蓝黑色。双缩脲试剂遇蛋白质变紫色。乙醇乳化实验检测脂肪，出现浑浊白色层。

3. Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table | 原子结构与元素周期表

Atoms contain protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons and neutrons are in the nucleus; electrons orbit in shells. Atomic number = number of protons. Mass number = protons + neutrons. In a neutral atom, electrons = protons.

原子含质子、中子和电子。质子和中子在核内，电子分层排布。原子序数 = 质子数。质量数 = 质子数 + 中子数。中性原子中，电子数 = 质子数。

Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. They have identical chemical properties but different physical masses. Relative atomic mass (Aᵣ) is an average taking into account isotope abundance.

同位素是同种元素但中子数不同的原子。化学性质相同，物理质量不同。相对原子质量 (Aᵣ) 是考虑同位素丰度后的平均值。

The periodic table arranges elements by increasing atomic number. Group number tells you the number of outer‑shell electrons. Period number gives the number of occupied shells. Group 1 are alkali metals, Group 7 halogens, Group 0 noble gases. Metals are on the left, non-metals on the right.

元素周期表按原子序数递增排列。族数表示最外层电子数，周期数表示电子层数。第 1 族是碱金属，第 7 族是卤素，第 0 族是稀有气体。左边是金属，右边是非金属。

4. Bonding and Chemical Reactions | 化学键与化学反应

Ionic bonding occurs between a metal and a non-metal. Electrons are transferred, forming positive and negative ions. The strong electrostatic attraction holds the giant ionic lattice together. Ionic compounds have high melting points and conduct electricity when molten or dissolved.

离子键形成于金属与非金属之间。电子转移，形成阳离子与阴离子。强大的静电引力构成巨型离子晶格。离子化合物熔点高，熔融态或溶于水时可导电。

Covalent bonding happens when non-metal atoms share electrons. Simple molecules like H₂O have weak intermolecular forces, resulting in low boiling points. Giant covalent structures (diamond, graphite, silicon dioxide) have strong bonds throughout, giving high melting points. Graphite conducts electricity because each carbon atom uses only three of its four outer electrons for bonding, leaving delocalised electrons.

共价键发生在非金属原子间共用电子时。简单分子如 H₂O 分子间力弱，所以沸点低。巨型共价结构（金刚石、石墨、二氧化硅）整体由强共价键连接，熔点高。石墨能导电是因为每个碳原子只用三个外层电子成键，留下离域电子。

Metallic bonding consists of positive metal ions surrounded by a sea of delocalised electrons. This allows metals to conduct electricity and heat, and be malleable.

金属键由阳离子与离域电子“海洋”构成。因此金属导电、导热性好，且具有延展性。

Chemical equations show reactants turning into products. Remember conservation of mass: the total mass of reactants equals the total mass of products. State symbols: (s), (l), (g), (aq).

化学方程式显示反应物转化为产物。质量守恒：反应物总质量等于产物总质量。状态符号：(s) 固体，(l) 液体，(g) 气体，(aq) 溶液。

5. Quantitative Chemistry | 化学计量

The mole is the unit for amount of substance. One mole contains 6.02 × 10²³ particles. Molar mass (M) is the mass of one mole in grams, numerically equal to Aᵣ or relative formula mass.

摩尔是物质的量的单位。1 摩尔含 6.02 × 10²³ 个微粒。摩尔质量 (M) 是一摩尔物质的质量，数值等于 Aᵣ 或相对式量。

number of moles n = mass m / molar mass M

物质的量 n = 质量 m / 摩尔质量 M

Concentration of a solution:

溶液的浓度：

c = n / V (mol/dm³), or concentration = mass of solute / volume of solution

c = n / V (mol/dm³)，或浓度 = 溶质质量 / 溶液体积

For reactions involving gases at room temperature and pressure, one mole of any gas occupies 24 dm³. Use this to find gas volumes from moles.

在常温常压下，任何气体的摩尔体积为 24 dm³。由此可从物质的量求气体体积。

Reacting mass calculations require a balanced equation. Convert to moles, use the mole ratio, then back to mass. Always check your units.

反应质量计算需要配平方程式。先换算成物质的量，用摩尔比，再换回质量。务必核对单位。

6. Forces and Motion | 力与运动

Scalars have magnitude only (speed, distance, mass). Vectors have both magnitude and direction (velocity, displacement, force, acceleration). Always consider direction when adding or subtracting vectors.

标量仅有大小（速率、路程、质量）。矢量既有大小又有方向（速度、位移、力、加速度）。矢量加减时必须考虑方向。

average speed = distance / time, v = s / t

平均速度 = 路程 / 时间，v = s / t

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity:

加速度是速度的变化率：

a = (v – u) / t

Newton’s Second Law: force = mass × acceleration (F = m a). Weight is a force due to gravity: W = m g, where g = 10 N/kg on Earth. Resultant force is the overall force after adding all forces acting on an object.

牛顿第二定律：合力 = 质量 × 加速度 (F = m a)。重力是地球引力产生的力：W = m g，g 取 10 N/kg。

Forces can be balanced or unbalanced. Balanced forces mean constant velocity or stationary object. Unbalanced forces cause acceleration. Use free‑body diagrams to show forces.

力可平衡或不平衡。平衡力意味着物体静止或匀速运动。非平衡力产生加速度。用力学分析图表示各力。

Stopping distance = thinking distance + braking distance. Factors affecting thinking distance: tiredness, alcohol, drugs. Factors affecting braking distance: speed, road conditions, tyre and brake wear.

停车距离 = 反应距离 + 刹车距离。反应距离受疲劳、酒精、药物影响；刹车距离受速度、路况、轮胎和刹车磨损影响。

7. Energy Transfers and Resources | 能量转移与能源

Energy is conserved: it can be transferred or stored, but never created or destroyed. Forms of energy include kinetic, thermal, chemical, gravitational potential, elastic potential, electrical, nuclear, and light.

能量守恒：能量可以转移或储存，但不会创生或消灭。形式包括动能、内能、化学能、重力势能、弹性势能、电能、核能和光能。

work done = force × distance moved in direction of force, W = F d

功 = 力 × 沿力方向移动的距离，W = F d

Gravitational potential energy: Eₚ = m g h. Kinetic energy: Eₖ = ½ m v². In a falling object (with no air resistance), Eₚ lost = Eₖ gained.

重力势能：Eₚ = m g h。动能：Eₖ = ½ m v²。自由落体时（无空气阻力），损失的重力势能等于获得的动能。

Power is the rate of energy transfer: P = E / t or P = W / t, unit watt (W). Efficiency = useful energy output / total energy input (can be × 100%).

功率是能量转移的速率：P = E / t 或 P = W / t，单位瓦特 (W)。效率 = 有用输出能量 / 总输入能量（可 × 100%）。

Energy resources: renewable (solar, wind, wave, tidal, hydroelectric, geothermal, biomass) and non‑renewable (fossil fuels, nuclear). Evaluate resources based on reliability, environmental impact, cost, and power output.

能源：可再生能源（太阳能、风能、波浪能、潮汐能、水力、地热、生物质能）和不可再生能源（化石燃料、核能）。评价能源时要考虑可靠性、环境影响、成本和输出功率。

8. Electricity and Circuits | 电与电路

Current (I) is the rate of flow of charge, measured in amperes (A). In a series circuit, current is the same everywhere. In parallel, current splits and then recombines. Voltage (potential difference) is energy transferred per unit charge, unit volt (V).

电流 (I) 是电荷流动的速率，单位安培 (A)。串联电路中电流处处相等；并联电路中电流分支后汇合。电压（电势差）是每单位电荷转移的能量，单位伏特 (V)。

V = I R (Ohm’s law)

V = I R (欧姆定律)

Resistance (R) is measured in ohms (Ω). In a filament lamp, resistance increases as current increases because the metal gets hot. A diode allows current in one direction only. In a thermistor, resistance decreases as temperature rises; in an LDR, resistance decreases as light intensity increases.

电阻 (R) 单位欧姆 (Ω)。白炽灯中，电流增大时电阻升高，因灯丝变热。二极管只允许单向电流。热敏电阻：温度升高，电阻下降。光敏电阻 (LDR)：光照越强，电阻越小。

Series circuits: total resistance R_total = R₁ + R₂ + … . Parallel circuits: 1/R_total = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + … . Mains electricity in the UK is 230 V, 50 Hz alternating current. Live, neutral and earth wires have distinct colours (brown, blue, green/yellow). Fuses and circuit breakers prevent overheating.

串联总电阻：R_total = R₁ + R₂ + … 。并联总电阻：1/R_total = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + … 。英国市电为 230 V、50 Hz 交流电。火线、零线和地线颜色分别为棕、蓝、黄绿双色。保险丝和断路器防止过载。

9. Waves and the Electromagnetic Spectrum | 波与电磁波谱

Waves transfer energy without transferring matter. Transverse waves have oscillations perpendicular to energy travel (light, water waves, all EM waves). Longitudinal waves have oscillations parallel to energy travel (sound waves).

波传递能量而不传递物质。横波振动方向与能量传播方向垂直（光、水波、所有电磁波）。纵波振动方向与传播方向平行（声波）。

wave speed v = frequency f × wavelength λ

波速 v = 频率 f × 波长 λ

Frequency is measured in hertz (Hz). Period T = 1 / f. When waves pass from one medium to another, speed and wavelength change, but frequency stays the same, causing refraction.

频率单位赫兹 (Hz)。周期 T = 1 / f。波从一种介质进入另一种介质时，波速和波长改变，频率不变，因此发生折射。

The electromagnetic spectrum, from longest wavelength to shortest: radio, microwave, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X‑rays, gamma rays. All travel at 3 × 10⁸ m/s in a vacuum. Higher frequency means higher energy and more ionising power. Gamma rays and X‑rays are ionising and can damage cells. Uses: radio for communications, microwaves for cooking, infrared for thermal imaging, visible for sight, ultraviolet for sterilisation, X‑rays for medical imaging, gamma rays for cancer treatment.

电磁波谱由长波到短波：无线电波、微波、红外线、可见光、紫外线、X 射线、γ 射线。真空中速度均为 3 × 10⁸ m/s。频率越高，能量越大，电离能力越强。γ 射线和 X 射线有电离作用，可能损伤细胞。用途：无线电通信，微波加热，红外热成像，可见光视觉，紫外线消毒，X 射线医学成像，γ 射线治疗癌症。

Sound waves are longitudinal and cannot travel through a vacuum. The speed of sound in air is about 340 m/s. Pitch is related to frequency, loudness to amplitude. Ultrasound (above 20 000 Hz) is used for scanning and sonar.

声波是纵波，不能在真空中传播。空气中声速约 340 m/s。音调对应频率，响度对应振幅。超声波（高于 20 000 Hz）用于扫描和声纳。

10. Ecology and Earth Science | 生态与地球科学

Ecosystems are made of communities of organisms interacting with their abiotic environment. Producers (plants) convert light energy into chemical energy via photosynthesis. Food chains show energy flow: producer → primary consumer → secondary consumer. Only about 10% of energy is transferred between trophic levels; the rest is lost as heat, movement, and waste.

生态系统由生物群落与非生物环境相互作用组成。生产者（植物）通过光合作用将光能转化为化学能。食物链显示能量流动：生产者 → 初级消费者 → 次级消费者。能量在营养级之间传递效率仅约 10%，其余以热、运动和废物形式散失。

The carbon cycle: carbon dioxide is removed by photosynthesis and returned by respiration, combustion, and decomposition. The nitrogen cycle involves nitrogen‑fixing bacteria, nitrification, assimilation, ammonification, and denitrification. Deforestation and burning fossil fuels increase atmospheric CO₂, contributing to the greenhouse effect and climate change.

碳循环：光合作用从大气吸收二氧化碳，呼吸作用、燃烧和分解作用释放二氧化碳。氮循环包括固氮、硝化、同化、氨化和反硝化作用。滥伐森林和燃烧化石燃料增加大气 CO₂，加剧温室效应和气候变化。

Earth’s atmosphere evolved over billions of years. Early atmosphere was mainly CO₂ with little oxygen. Oxygen increased due to photosynthesis by algae and plants. Today’s composition: ~78% nitrogen, ~21% oxygen, ~0.04% CO₂.

地球大气演化数十亿年。原始大气主要是 CO₂，氧气极少。藻类和植物的光合作用使氧气增加。现今大气成分：约 78% 氮气，21% 氧气，0.04% CO₂。

For sustainability, conserve biodiversity, reduce resource use, and minimise pollution. Sustainable practices include recycling, using renewable energy, and replanting trees.

为了实现可持续性，需保护生物多样性、减少资源使用和降低污染。可持续做法包括回收、使用可再生能源、植树造林。
