1. Cell Structure | 细胞结构
Both plant and animal cells are eukaryotic, but they contain different organelles. A typical animal cell includes a nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria and ribosomes. Plant cells have the same basic structures plus a cell wall, a large permanent vacuole and chloroplasts.
植物细胞和动物细胞都是真核细胞，但含有的细胞器有所不同。典型的动物细胞包括细胞核、细胞质、细胞膜、线粒体和核糖体。植物细胞除了拥有这些基本结构外，还有细胞壁、一个大的中央液泡以及叶绿体。
Nucleus: contains genetic material (DNA) and controls cell activities. / 细胞核：含有遗传物质 DNA，控制细胞活动。
Mitochondria: site of aerobic respiration, releasing energy. / 线粒体：有氧呼吸的场所，释放能量。
Ribosomes: protein synthesis. / 核糖体：蛋白质合成。
Cell membrane: selectively permeable, controls entry and exit of substances. / 细胞膜：选择透过性，控制物质进出。
Cell wall (plants): made of cellulose, provides support. / 细胞壁（植物）：由纤维素构成，起支持作用。
Chloroplasts (plants): contain chlorophyll, absorb light for photosynthesis. / 叶绿体（植物）：含有叶绿素，吸收光能进行光合作用。
Vacuole (plants): contains cell sap, maintains turgor pressure. / 液泡（植物）：含有细胞液，维持膨压。
Microscope skills: magnification = eyepiece lens × objective lens; total magnification and measuring cell size using a graticule often appear in practical questions. / 显微镜技能：放大倍数 = 目镜倍数 × 物镜倍数；使用测微尺测量细胞大小也是实验题中的常见考点。
2. Movement of Substances | 物质的运输
Substances move into and out of cells by diffusion, osmosis and active transport. Understanding the differences is crucial for explaining many processes such as gas exchange, water uptake in roots and nutrient absorption.
物质进出细胞通过扩散、渗透和主动运输。理解它们的区别对于解释许多过程至关重要，例如气体交换、根吸水以及营养吸收。
| Property | Diffusion / 扩散 | Osmosis / 渗透 | Active Transport / 主动运输 |
| Energy requirement / 能量需求 | No (passive) / 无 | No / 无 | Yes (uses ATP) / 需要 ATP |
| Concentration gradient / 浓度梯度 | Down / 顺浓度 | Down (water potential) / 顺（水势） | Against / 逆浓度 |
| Examples / 例子 | O₂/CO₂ in alveoli / 肺泡气体交换 | Water uptake by root hairs / 根毛吸水 | Ion uptake in roots / 根部吸收离子 |
Osmosis is the net movement of water molecules from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential through a partially permeable membrane. / 渗透是水分子通过半透膜从水势较高的区域向水势较低的区域净移动的过程。
Active transport requires carrier proteins and energy to move substances against the concentration gradient, as seen in the absorption of mineral ions by root hairs. / 主动运输需要载体蛋白和能量，逆浓度梯度运输物质，例如根毛吸收矿质离子。
3. Enzymes | 酶
Enzymes are biological catalysts made of protein that speed up metabolic reactions without being used up. Each enzyme has an active site specific to its substrate; the lock‑and‑key model explains enzyme–substrate complex formation.
酶是蛋白质构成的生物催化剂，能加速代谢反应而自身不被消耗。每种酶都有一个与底物互补的活性位点；“锁钥模型”解释了酶-底物复合物的形成。
Factors affecting enzyme activity: temperature, pH, substrate concentration. / 影响酶活性的因素：温度、pH、底物浓度。
At low temperatures, kinetic energy is low; at optimum temperature the rate is highest; high temperatures cause denaturation (permanent change in active site). / 低温时动能低；最适温度下反应速率最高；高温导致变性（活性位点永久改变）。
pH changes the shape of the active site; each enzyme has an optimum pH (e.g., pepsin pH 2, amylase pH 7). / pH 改变活性位点的形状；每种酶都有最适 pH（如胃蛋白酶 pH 2，淀粉酶 pH 7）。
Enzyme experiments: investigating effect of temperature on amylase breakdown of starch, using iodine test. / 酶实验：探究温度对淀粉酶分解淀粉的影响，使用碘液测试。
4. Human Nutrition and Digestion | 人体营养与消化
The digestive system breaks down large insoluble molecules into small soluble ones that can be absorbed. Key organs include the mouth (mechanical and chemical digestion by amylase), stomach (protein digestion by pepsin and HCl), and small intestine (complete digestion and absorption via villi).
消化系统将大的不溶性分子分解为可吸收的小分子。主要器官包括口腔（淀粉酶进行机械和化学消化）、胃（胃蛋白酶和盐酸进行蛋白质消化）以及小肠（彻底消化并通过绒毛吸收）。
Digestive enzymes: amylase (starch → maltose), protease (protein → amino acids), lipase (lipids → fatty acids + glycerol). / 消化酶：淀粉酶（淀粉 → 麦芽糖），蛋白酶（蛋白质 → 氨基酸），脂肪酶（脂肪 → 脂肪酸 + 甘油）。
Bile (produced in liver, stored in gall bladder) emulsifies fats and neutralises stomach acid. / 胆汁（肝脏产生，胆囊储存）乳化脂肪并中和胃酸。
Absorption: villi in the small intestine have thin epithelium, dense capillary network, and lacteals for efficient uptake of digested food. / 吸收：小肠绒毛具有薄的上皮、丰富的毛细血管网和乳糜管，有利于高效吸收消化产物。
5. Plant Nutrition and Photosynthesis | 植物营养与光合作用
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants manufacture glucose using light energy, carbon dioxide and water. The overall word equation is: carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen (in the presence of chlorophyll and sunlight). / 光合作用是植物利用光能、二氧化碳和水制造葡萄糖的过程。总文字方程式：二氧化碳 + 水 → 葡萄糖 + 氧气（在叶绿素和阳光下）。
6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆
