1. Exam Overview & Command Words | 考试概览与指令词
The AQA GCSE Combined Science: Trilogy is assessed through six papers – two for Biology, two for Chemistry and two for Physics. Each paper is 1 hour 15 minutes and is worth 70 marks. Familiarity with command words (e.g., ‘describe’, ‘explain’, ‘evaluate’) is essential for structuring answers correctly.
AQA GCSE 组合科学考试包含六份试卷——生物、化学、物理各两份。每份试卷时长1小时15分钟，满分70分。熟悉指令词（如“describe”“explain”“evaluate”）对于正确组织答案至关重要。
‘Describe’ asks you to recall facts in a logical order, while ‘Explain’ requires you to give reasons using scientific principles. ‘Evaluate’ demands a judgement supported by evidence, weighing up advantages and disadvantages. Practice using these words in context to avoid losing easy marks.
“Describe”要求按逻辑顺序回忆事实，“Explain”则需要运用科学原理给出原因。“Evaluate”要求基于证据做出判断，权衡优缺点。结合情境练习这些指令词，可避免因答题思路不清而丢分。
Required practicals are an integral part of the exams. You must be able to describe methods, identify variables, and analyse results for experiments such as microscopy, rates of reaction, and circuit investigations.
必做实验是考试的重要组成部分。你必须能够描述方法、识别变量、分析结果，涉及显微镜使用、反应速率测定、电路探究等实验。
2. Cell Biology, Organisation & Infection | 细胞生物学、组织与感染
Eukaryotic cells (animal and plant) have a nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria and ribosomes. Plant cells additionally contain a cell wall, a permanent vacuole and chloroplasts. Prokaryotic cells (bacteria) are much smaller and lack a nucleus; their genetic material is a single DNA loop.
真核细胞（动物和植物）有细胞核、细胞质、细胞膜、线粒体和核糖体。植物细胞还有细胞壁、中央液泡和叶绿体。原核细胞（细菌）小得多，没有细胞核，遗传物质为单环状DNA。
Specialised cells, such as sperm cells, nerve cells and root hair cells, have adaptations that enable them to carry out specific functions effectively. Stem cells can differentiate into many cell types and are used in medicine, though their use raises ethical issues.
特化细胞（如精子、神经细胞、根毛细胞）具有适应特定功能的结构。干细胞能分化成多种细胞类型，在医学中得以应用，但也引起伦理争议。
In organisation, enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up reactions. They have an active site with a specific shape, and activity is affected by temperature and pH. The digestive system breaks down large insoluble molecules into small soluble ones, using enzymes such as amylase, protease and lipase.
在组织层级，酶是加速反应的生物催化剂，具有特定形状的活性部位，活性受温度和pH影响。消化系统利用淀粉酶、蛋白酶和脂肪酶等酶，将不溶性大分子分解为可吸收的小分子。

感染与反应部分涉及病原体引起的传染病，包括病毒、细菌、真菌和原生生物。人体以物理屏障（皮肤、黏液）、吞噬作用和抗体生成进行防御。疫苗接种引入无害抗原以激发记忆淋巴细胞。
Antibiotics can kill bacteria but not viruses, and antibiotic resistance is a growing problem. Plant diseases, such as tobacco mosaic virus and rose black spot, can be identified through symptoms and are treated by removing affected parts or using chemical controls.
抗生素能杀死细菌但对病毒无效，抗生素耐药性日益严重。植物病害（如烟草花叶病毒、玫瑰黑斑病）可通过症状识别，并通过移除病部或化学防治进行治理。
3. Bioenergetics, Homeostasis & Response | 生物能量学、稳态与反应
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. The summary equation is: 6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂. The rate is limited by light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration and temperature.
光合作用是植物利用光能，将二氧化碳和水转化为葡萄糖和氧气的过程，总方程式为：6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂。反应速率受光照强度、二氧化碳浓度和温度的限制。
Aerobic respiration releases energy from glucose using oxygen: C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O. Anaerobic respiration in animal cells produces lactic acid, while in plants and yeast it produces ethanol and carbon dioxide. Metabolism includes all the chemical reactions in a living organism.
有氧呼吸利用氧气分解葡萄糖释放能量：C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O。动物细胞无氧呼吸产生乳酸，植物和酵母则产生乙醇和二氧化碳。新陈代谢涵盖生物体内的所有化学反应。
Homeostasis maintains stable internal conditions. The nervous system uses electrical impulses along neurones, while the endocrine system uses hormones. The reflex arc is a rapid, automatic response: stimulus → receptor → sensory neurone → relay neurone → motor neurone → effector.

酸在溶液中产生氢离子。强酸完全电离，弱酸部分电离。pH标度衡量酸碱度，从0（酸性）到14（碱性）。电解利用直流电分解离子化合物：阳离子移向阴极，阴离子移向阳极。
In electrolysis of aqueous solutions, the products depend on the relative reactivity of ions. For example, electrolysing brine (NaCl solution) produces hydrogen at the cathode and chlorine at the anode.
在电解水溶液时，产物取决于离子的相对活泼性。例如，电解盐水（NaCl溶液）在阴极产生氢气，阳极产生氯气。
7. Energy, Rates, Organic & Resources | 能量变化、速率与平衡、有机与资源
Exothermic reactions transfer energy to the surroundings (e.g., combustion, neutralisation), so temperature rises. Endothermic reactions take in energy (e.g., thermal decomposition), causing a temperature drop. Bond breaking is endothermic; bond making is exothermic.
放热反应向环境释放能量（如燃烧、中和反应），温度升高。吸热反应吸收能量（如热分解），温度降低。断键吸热，成键放热。
Rates of reaction can be increased by higher temperature, higher concentration/pressure, larger surface area, or use of a catalyst. Catalysts lower activation energy and are not used up. Reversible reactions can reach dynamic equilibrium, where forward and backward rates are equal.
升高温度、增加浓度/压强、增大表面积或使用催化剂可加快反应速率。催化剂降低活化能且不被消耗。可逆反应可达到动态平衡，此时正逆反应速率相等。
