1. Key Biology Concepts for Last-Minute Review | 生物学临考重点回顾
Cell structure and function are foundational. Plant cells have a cellulose cell wall, a permanent vacuole, and chloroplasts, which animal cells lack. Both have a nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria, and ribosomes. Bacterial cells are prokaryotic: they lack a nucleus and have a single loop of DNA plus plasmids.
细胞结构与功能是基础。植物细胞具有纤维素细胞壁、中央液泡和叶绿体,而动物细胞没有。两者都有细胞核、细胞质、细胞膜、线粒体和核糖体。细菌细胞是原核生物:它们没有细胞核,只有一条环状DNA和质粒。
Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower activation energy. The lock-and-key model explains how a substrate fits into the enzyme’s active site. Denaturation occurs when high temperature or extreme pH alters the shape of the active site permanently, stopping the enzyme from functioning.
酶是生物催化剂,能降低活化能。锁钥模型解释了底物如何进入酶的活性位点。当高温或极端pH改变活性位点形状并使其永久失活时,就会发生变性,酶无法再工作。
The heart is a double pump. The right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs; the left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood to the body. Remember the path: vena cava → right atrium → right ventricle → pulmonary artery → lungs → pulmonary vein → left atrium → left ventricle → aorta. Valves prevent backflow.
心脏是一个双泵。右心室将缺氧血泵入肺部;左心室将富氧血泵向全身。请记住路径:腔静脉→右心房→右心室→肺动脉→肺→肺静脉→左心房→左心室→主动脉。瓣膜防止血液倒流。
Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts and can be summarised as: carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen, using light energy. The rate is affected by light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, and temperature. Use the inverse square law when investigating light intensity.
光合作用发生在叶绿体中,可概括为:二氧化碳+水 → 葡萄糖+氧气,需要光能。速率受光照强度、二氧化碳浓度和温度影响。在探究光照强度时需使用平方反比定律。
2. Chemistry Equations and Mole Calculations | 化学方程式与摩尔计算
Mastering the mole concept is essential. The number of moles (n) equals mass (m) divided by relative formula mass (Mᵣ): n = m / Mᵣ. For solutions, concentration (c, in mol/dm³) = number of moles / volume (dm³): c = n / V. In titrations, use the formula cₐVₐ / c_bV_b = nₐ / n_b to find unknown concentrations.
掌握摩尔概念至关重要。物质的量(n)等于质量(m)除以相对式量(Mᵣ):n = m / Mᵣ。对于溶液,浓度(c,单位mol/dm³)=物质的量 / 体积(dm³):c = n / V。在滴定中,使用公式cₐVₐ / c_bV_b = nₐ / n_b求未知浓度。
Calculating percentage yield: % yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) × 100. Atom economy = (total Mᵣ of desired product / total Mᵣ of all reactants) × 100. A higher atom economy means less waste and more sustainable processes.
计算产率:产率% =(实际产量 / 理论产量)× 100。原子经济性 =(所需产物的总相对式量 / 所有反应物的总相对式量)× 100。原子经济性越高,废物越少,过程更可持续。
During electrolysis, cations move to the cathode and gain electrons (reduction); anions move to the anode and lose electrons (oxidation). In aqueous solutions, the products depend on the reactivity of the ions. For example, at the cathode, hydrogen is produced if the metal is more reactive than hydrogen.
在电解过程中,阳离子移向阴极并得电子(还原);阴离子移向阳极并失电子(氧化)。在水溶液中,产物取决于离子的活动性顺序。例如,在阴极,如果金属比氢更活泼,则生成氢气。
3. Physics Formulas You Must Know | 物理必背公式
These equations are often provided in the exam, but memorising them saves time and prevents errors. For motion: v = u + a t, v² = u² + 2 a s, s = u t + ½ a t². Use the acceleration formula: a = (v – u) / t. Force and momentum: F = m a, p = m v.
这些公式考试中常会提供,但记住它们可节省时间并避免错误。运动学:v = u + a t,v² = u² + 2 a s,s = u t + ½ a t²。使用加速度公式:a = (v – u) / t。力和动量:F = m a,p = m v。
Energy and electricity: E = P t, P = I V, V = I R, Q = I t. The specific heat capacity equation: ΔE = m c Δθ. The transformer equation: Vₚ / Vₛ = Nₚ / Nₛ (for an ideal transformer, Pₚ = Pₛ so Iₚ Vₚ = Iₛ Vₛ).
能量与电学:E = P t,P = I V,V = I R,Q = I t。比热容公式:ΔE = m c Δθ。变压器公式:Vₚ / Vₛ = Nₚ / Nₛ(理想变压器有Pₚ = Pₛ,因此 Iₚ Vₚ = Iₛ Vₛ)。
Wave speed: v = f λ. Remember that frequency f is in hertz (Hz) and wavelength λ in metres. Refractive index: n = sin i / sin r. Efficiency = useful output energy transfer / total input energy transfer.
波速:v = f λ。记住频率f单位为赫兹(Hz),波长λ单位为米。折射率:n = sin i / sin r。效率 = 有用输出能量转化 / 总输入能量转化。
4. Required Practicals at a Glance | 必修实验速览
GCSE Edexcel Science includes several core practicals that can appear in exam questions. Biology: microscopy – use a light microscope to observe plant and animal cells, calculate magnification using the formula Magnification = size of image ÷ actual size. Prepare an onion epidermal cell slide stain with iodine.
GCSE Edexcel 科学包含多个核心实验,会出现在考题中。生物学:显微镜使用——用光学显微镜观察植物和动物细胞,使用公式 放大倍数 = 图像大小 ÷ 实际大小计算。制备洋葱内表皮细胞玻片并用碘液染色。
Osmosis in potato cylinders: measure change in mass/length of potato pieces in different sugar concentrations to determine water movement. Enzymes: investigate the effect of pH on amylase activity using starch and iodine solution, noting the time for starch to break down.
马铃薯圆柱中的渗透作用:测量不同糖浓度中马铃薯条的质量/长度变化,判断水分移动。酶:用淀粉和碘液探究pH对淀粉酶活性的影响,记录淀粉分解所需时间。
Chemistry: making salts
