欢迎阅读 Year 9 CIE 生物核心知识点梳理。本文涵盖了为 IGCSE 生物奠定基础的核心主题，帮助你巩固从细胞结构到遗传与生态的关键概念。
1. Cell Structure and Organisation | 细胞结构与组织
All living organisms are made up of cells, which are the basic structural and functional units of life. The cell theory states that cells arise from pre-existing cells.
所有生物体都是由细胞构成的，细胞是生命的基本结构和功能单位。细胞学说指出细胞来自已有的细胞。
A typical animal cell contains a nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria and ribosomes, while plant cells also have a cell wall, chloroplasts and a large central vacuole.
典型的动物细胞包含细胞核、细胞质、细胞膜、线粒体和核糖体，而植物细胞还有细胞壁、叶绿体和一个大液泡。
The nucleus controls cell activities and contains genetic material (DNA). Mitochondria are the site of aerobic respiration, releasing energy. Ribosomes synthesise proteins.
细胞核控制细胞活动并含有遗传物质（DNA）。线粒体是有氧呼吸的场所，释放能量。核糖体合成蛋白质。
In multicellular organisms, cells differentiate to perform specific functions. Similar cells group together to form tissues, multiple tissues form organs, and organs work together in organ systems.
在多细胞生物中，细胞分化以执行特定功能。相似的细胞聚集形成组织，多种组织构成器官，器官协同工作形成器官系统。
2. Movement of Substances | 物质进出细胞
Substances move across cell membranes by diffusion, osmosis and active transport. Diffusion is the net movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration, down a concentration gradient.
物质通过扩散、渗透和主动运输跨过细胞膜。扩散是粒子从高浓度区域沿浓度梯度向低浓度区域的净移动。
Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules through a partially permeable membrane from a dilute solution to a more concentrated solution.
渗透是水分子通过半透膜从稀溶液向更浓溶液的扩散。
Active transport moves substances against the concentration gradient, using energy from respiration. This process is vital for uptake of minerals by root hair cells.
主动运输利用呼吸作用提供的能量逆浓度梯度移动物质。该过程对于根毛细胞吸收矿物质至关重要。
3. Enzymes | 酶
Enzymes are biological catalysts made of protein. They speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy, and each enzyme has a specific active site that fits its substrate, often described by the lock-and-key model.
酶是蛋白质构成的生物催化剂。它们通过降低活化能来加速化学反应，每种酶都有一个与底物匹配的特定活性位点，常用锁钥模型描述。
Enzyme activity is affected by temperature and pH. At very high temperatures, enzymes denature, losing their shape permanently. Different enzymes have different optimum pH levels.
酶的活性受温度和 pH 影响。在高温下酶会变性，永久失去其形状。不同的酶具有不同的最适 pH 值。
For example, amylase breaks down starch into maltose in the mouth and small intestine, working best at around pH 7.
例如，淀粉酶在口腔和小肠中将淀粉分解成麦芽糖，在 pH 约 7 时活性最佳。
4. Plant Nutrition and Transport | 植物营养与运输
Plants make their own food through photosynthesis, which converts light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose. The word equation for photosynthesis is: carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen.
植物通过光合作用制造食物，将光能转化为储存在葡萄糖中的化学能。光合作用的文字方程式是：二氧化碳 + 水 → 葡萄糖 + 氧气。
The balanced chemical equation is: 6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂, in the presence of chlorophyll and light.
在有叶绿体和光照的条件下，化学方程式为：6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂。
Water and minerals are transported in plants through xylem vessels, while sugars (mainly sucrose) are transported in phloem sieve tubes. This process is called translocation.
水和矿物质通过木质部导管运输，而糖类（主要是蔗糖）在韧皮部筛管中运输，这个过程称为转运。
Transpiration is the loss of water vapour from leaves, driven by evaporation and diffusion. It creates a transpiration pull that helps transport water upwards.
蒸腾作用是叶片水蒸气的散失，由蒸发和扩散驱动。它产生蒸腾拉力，有助于水分向上运输。
5. Human Nutrition and Digestion | 人类营养与消化
A balanced diet provides essential nutrients: carbohydrates for energy, proteins for growth and repair, lipids for insulation and energy storage, vitamins and minerals for various body functions, water and dietary fibre.
均衡饮食提供必需营养素：碳水化合物提供能量，蛋白质用于生长和修复，脂类用于保温和储存能量，维生素和矿物质用于各种身体功能，还有水和膳食纤维。
Digestion breaks down large, insoluble food molecules into small, soluble molecules that can be absorbed. Mechanical digestion occurs through chewing and churning, while chemical digestion involves enzymes like amylase, protease and lipase.
消化将大的、不溶性食物分子分解成小的可溶性分子以便吸收。物理消化通过咀嚼和搅拌进行，化学消化则涉及淀粉酶、蛋白酶和脂肪酶等酶。
In the stomach, pepsin begins protein digestion in acidic conditions. The small intestine is where most digestion and absorption occurs, with villi increasing surface area.
在胃中，胃蛋白酶在酸性条件下开始消化蛋白质。小肠是大部分消化和吸收发生的场所，绒毛增大了表面积。
6. Respiration and Gas Exchange | 呼吸与气体交换
Respiration is the release of energy from glucose. Aerobic respiration uses oxygen: glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water (+ energy). Anaerobic respiration in animals produces lactic acid, while in yeast it produces ethanol and carbon dioxide.
呼吸作用是葡萄糖中能量的释放。有氧呼吸使用氧气：葡萄糖 + 氧气 → 二氧化碳 + 水 (+ 能量)。动物体内无氧呼吸产生乳酸，而酵母的无氧呼吸产生乙醇和二氧化碳。
Human gas exchange occurs in the lungs. Inhaled air passes through the trachea, bronchi and bronchioles to reach alveoli, where oxygen diffuses into blood and carbon dioxide diffuses out.
人体气体交换在肺部进行。吸入的空气经过气管、支气管和细支气管到达肺泡，在那里氧气扩散进入血液，二氧化碳扩散出来。
7. Transport in Humans | 人体运输系统
The circulatory system consists of the heart, blood vessels and blood. The heart pumps blood through arteries, veins and capillaries. Blood carries oxygen, nutrients, carbon dioxide, and waste products.
循环系统由心脏、血管和血液组成。心脏将血液泵送经过动脉、静脉和毛细血管。血液运输氧气、营养物质、二氧化碳和代谢废物。
Red blood cells contain haemoglobin which binds oxygen. White blood cells defend against pathogens, platelets aid clotting, and plasma transports dissolved substances.
红细胞含有血红蛋白，能结合氧气。白细胞防御病原体，血小板帮助凝血，血浆运输溶解的物质。
The heart has four chambers: two atria and two ventricles. The right side pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs, while the left side pumps oxygenated blood to the body.
心脏有四个腔室：两个心房和两个心室。右侧将缺氧血泵至肺部，左侧将富氧血泵至全身。
8. Nervous System and Hormones | 神经系统与激素
The nervous system coordinates responses via electrical impulses. The central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) processes information, and peripheral nerves carry impulses to and from effectors.
神经系统通过电冲动协调反应。中枢神经系统（脑和脊髓）处理信息，外周神经将冲动传到效应器并传回。
Reflex arcs provide rapid, automatic responses to stimuli, bypassing the brain. An example is the withdrawal reflex.
反射弧提供对刺激的快速、自动反应，绕过大脑。例如缩手反射。
Hormones are chemical messengers produced by endocrine glands, transported in the blood. For instance, insulin regulates blood glucose levels, and adrenaline prepares the body for ‘fight or flight’.
激素是由内分泌腺产生的化学信使，通过血液运输。例如，胰岛素调节血糖水平，肾上腺素让身体做好“战斗或逃跑”的准备。
9. Reproduction | 生殖
In humans, reproduction involves male and female gametes. Sperm are produced in testes, and eggs in ovaries. Fertilisation occurs in the oviduct, forming a zygote that implants in the uterus.
人类的生殖涉及雄性和雌性配子。精子在睾丸中产生，卵子在卵巢中产生。受精发生在输卵管，形成受精卵并植入子宫。
In flowering plants, pollen (male gamete) is transferred to the stigma for fertilisation. After fertilisation, the ovule becomes a seed and the ovary develops into a fruit.
在开花植物中，花粉（雄性配子）被传送到柱头进行受精。受精后，胚珠发育成种子，子房发育成果实。
10. Genetics and Evolution | 遗传与进化
DNA is the molecule of inheritance, organised into chromosomes within the nucleus. A gene is a section of DNA that codes for a protein. Alleles are different forms of a gene.
DNA 是遗传分子，在细胞核内组织成染色体。基因是编码蛋白质的 DNA 片段。等位基因是基因的不同形式。
Mendel’s work laid the foundation of genetics. Dominant alleles mask recessive ones. A monohybrid cross can predict the probability of traits in offspring.
孟德尔的工作奠定了遗传学基础。显性等位基因掩盖隐性等位基因。单基因杂交可以预测后代性状的概率。
Evolution by natural selection occurs when organisms with advantageous traits survive and reproduce more, passing on those alleles. This leads to gradual change in species over generations.
当具有有利性状的生物存活并繁殖更多时，自然选择驱动的进化就会发生，这些等位基因得以传递。这导致物种在代代相传中逐渐变化。
