1. Course Overview and Assessment | 课程概览与评估
The CIE IGCSE Biology course is divided into Core and Extended levels. Year 10 typically covers the majority of Core content and introduces several Extended topics. The qualification is assessed through three papers: Paper 1 or 2 (Multiple Choice), Paper 3 or 4 (Theory), and Paper 5 or 6 (Practical). Your final grade is based on performance across these components, with a strong emphasis on experimental skills and data interpretation.
CIE IGCSE 生物课程分为核心（Core）和拓展（Extended）两个级别。Year 10 通常涵盖大部分核心内容，并引入部分拓展主题。该资格证书通过三份试卷进行评估：卷一或卷二（选择题）、卷三或卷四（理论题）以及卷五或卷六（实验技能）。最终成绩基于这些部分的表现，尤其注重实验技能与数据解读能力。
Throughout Year 10, you will develop the ability to recall key biological facts, apply your knowledge to unfamiliar contexts, and design simple investigations. The syllabus encourages you to think like a scientist, from observing and recording to drawing conclusions and evaluating methods.
在整个 Year 10，你将逐步培养回忆关键生物学事实、将知识应用于陌生情境以及设计简单探究实验的能力。大纲鼓励你像科学家一样思考，从观察、记录到得出结论和评估方法。
2. Characteristics and Classification of Living Organisms | 生物的特征与分类
All living things display seven characteristics: movement, respiration, sensitivity, growth, reproduction, excretion and nutrition, often remembered by the acronym MRS GREN. You must also understand the binomial naming system, where each species is given a two-part Latin name (e.g., Homo sapiens).
所有生物都表现出七大特征：运动、呼吸、感应、生长、生殖、排泄和营养，常以首字母缩写 MRS GREN 来记忆。你还需理解双名法——每个物种都有一个由两部分组成的拉丁名（如 Homo sapiens）。
Organisms are grouped into five kingdoms: Animals, Plants, Fungi, Prokaryotes (bacteria) and Protoctists. For Year 10, you need to know the key features of each kingdom and be able to classify organisms using dichotomous keys. Viruses are not placed in any kingdom because they are not considered living.
生物分为五界：动物界、植物界、真菌界、原核生物界（细菌）和原生生物界。在 Year 10，你需要掌握各界的典型特征，并能使用二分检索表进行分类。病毒不被归入任何界，因为它们不被视作生命体。
3. Cells and Movement Across Membranes | 细胞与跨膜运输
Cells are the basic units of life. You will study the structures of animal, plant and bacterial cells under the light microscope, comparing organelles such as the nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria, ribosomes, cell wall, chloroplasts and vacuole. Be prepared to calculate magnification and actual size using the formula magnification = image size / actual size.
细胞是生命的基本单位。你将在光学显微镜下学习动物、植物和细菌细胞的结构，比较细胞核、细胞质、细胞膜、线粒体、核糖体、细胞壁、叶绿体和液泡等细胞器。要准备好用公式“放大倍数 = 图像大小 / 实际大小”进行计算。
Substances move in and out of cells by diffusion, osmosis and active transport. 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. Active transport requires energy in the form of ATP to move substances against their concentration gradient.
物质通过扩散、渗透和主动运输进出细胞。渗透是水分子通过部分透性膜从水势较高区域向水势较低区域的净移动。主动运输则需要 ATP 形式的能量，使物质逆浓度梯度移动。
4. Biological Molecules and Enzymes | 生物分子与酶
The main biological molecules are carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. You need to know the chemical elements present in each, their monomers and polymers, and the food tests used to identify them: iodine for starch, Benedict’s test for reducing sugars, biuret test for proteins, and ethanol emulsion test for lipids.
主要的生物分子有碳水化合物、蛋白质、脂质和核酸。你需要了解它们含有哪些化学元素、各自的单体和多聚体，以及鉴定它们的食物测试：碘液检验淀粉，本尼迪克特试剂检验还原糖，双缩脲试验检验蛋白质，乙醇乳浊试验检验脂质。
Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up reactions by lowering the activation energy. They have an active site that is specific to a substrate, described by the lock-and-key model. Enzyme activity is affected by temperature, pH and substrate concentration. Denaturation occurs when high temperatures or extreme pH permanently alter the shape of the active site.
酶是生物催化剂，通过降低活化能来加速反应。酶拥有一个对底物具有专一性的活性位点，可用锁钥模型描述。酶活性受温度、pH 值和底物浓度影响。当高温或极端 pH 值使活性位点形状永久改变时，酶就会变性。
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. The overall word equation is carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen, and the balanced chemical equation is 6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂. Chlorophyll in chloroplasts absorbs light energy to drive the reaction.
光合作用是植物利用光能制造葡萄糖的过程。总文字方程为：二氧化碳 + 水 → 葡萄糖 + 氧气，配平的化学方程式为：6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂。叶绿体内的叶绿素吸收光能以驱动反应。
You must be able to design investigations to test a leaf for starch, show that light, carbon dioxide and chlorophyll are necessary, and measure the rate of photosynthesis using oxygen production. The glucose produced can be stored as starch, used in respiration, or converted into cellulose, proteins and lipids for growth.
你必须能设计探究实验，检验叶片中的淀粉，证明光照、二氧化碳和叶绿素是必需的，并能通过氧气产量测定光合作用速率。光合作用产生的葡萄糖可转化为淀粉储存、用于呼吸作用，或转变为纤维素、蛋白质和脂质供植物生长。
6. Human Nutrition and Digestion | 人类营养与消化
A balanced diet includes carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins, minerals, water and dietary fibre. You need to know the roles of key nutrients, such as vitamin C for skin and immunity, vitamin D and calcium for strong bones, and iron for haemoglobin. Deficiencies like scurvy and anaemia are common exam topics.
均衡饮食包括碳水化合物、蛋白质、脂质、维生素、矿物质、水和膳食纤维。你需要了解关键营养素的作用，例如维生素 C 维护皮肤与免疫，维生素 D 和钙强健骨骼，铁是血红蛋白的成分。缺乏症如坏血病和贫血是考试常见主题。
Digestion is the breakdown of large, insoluble molecules into small, soluble ones that can be absorbed. This involves mechanical digestion (chewing) and chemical digestion (enzymes). Amylase breaks down starch into maltose, proteases break down proteins into amino acids, and lipases break down lipids into fatty acids and glycerol. The role of bile in emulsifying fats is also essential.
消化是将大分子不可溶物质分解为可吸收的小分子可溶物质的过程，涉及物理消化（咀嚼）和化学消化（酶）。淀粉酶将淀粉分解为麦芽糖，蛋白酶将蛋白质分解为氨基酸，脂肪酶将脂质分解为脂肪酸和甘油。胆汁乳化脂肪的作用也同样关键。
7. Transport in Plants and Animals | 植物与动物的运输
In plants, xylem transports water and mineral ions from roots to leaves, while phloem transports sucrose and amino acids around the plant. You should be able to trace the pathway of water from root hair cells through the cortex into xylem vessels, and explain transpiration pull.
在植物中，木质部运输水与矿物离子从根到叶，韧皮部运输蔗糖和氨基酸到植物各处。你应能追溯水从根毛细胞穿过皮层进入木质部导管的路径，并解释蒸腾拉力。
The human circulatory system consists of the heart, blood vessels and blood. The heart has four chambers: right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium and left ventricle. Arteries carry blood away from the heart, veins carry blood back, and capillaries allow exchange of substances. Blood contains red blood cells (carrying oxygen), white blood cells (defence), platelets (clotting) and plasma (transport).
人体循环系统由心脏、血管和血液组成。心脏有四个腔室：右心房、右心室、左心房和左心室。动脉将血液运离心脏，静脉将血液送回心脏，毛细血管则进行物质交换。血液包含红细胞（运载氧）、白细胞（防御）、血小板（凝血）和血浆（运输）。
8. Gas Exchange and Respiration | 气体交换与呼吸
The human gas exchange system includes the nasal passages, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli. The alveoli are adapted for efficient gas exchange: large surface area, thin walls (one cell thick), rich blood supply and moist surface. You should be able to describe the composition of inhaled and exhaled air.
人体气体交换系统包括鼻腔、气管、支气管、细支气管和肺泡。肺泡具有适于高效气体交换的特征：表面积大、壁薄（仅一个细胞厚）、血供丰富且表面湿润。你应能描述吸入与呼出空气的成分差异。
Respiration is the release of energy from glucose in living cells. Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and produces a large amount of ATP: C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy. Anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and produces much less ATP; in muscles it leads to lactic acid, while in yeast it produces ethanol and carbon dioxide (fermentation).
呼吸作用是活细胞从葡萄糖中释放能量的过程。有氧呼吸需要氧气，产生大量 ATP：C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + 能量。无氧呼吸则在缺氧时发生，产能远少得多；在肌肉中产生乳酸，而在酵母中则生成乙醇和二氧化碳（发酵）。
9. Excretion and Homeostasis | 排泄与体内稳态
Excretion is the removal of metabolic waste products: carbon dioxide (from respiration) and urea (formed in the liver from excess amino acids). The kidneys filter the blood, reabsorb useful substances like glucose and water, and produce urine. The structure of the nephron is an Extended topic.
排泄是代谢废物的排除：二氧化碳（来自呼吸）和尿素（由肝脏分解多余氨基酸形成）。肾脏过滤血液，重吸收葡萄糖和水等有用物质，并产生尿液。肾单位的结构属于拓展主题。
Homeostasis maintains a constant internal environment. Key examples are regulation of body temperature through sweating, shivering and vasodilation, and blood glucose regulation by insulin and glucagon. This is a crucial topic for understanding negative feedback mechanisms.
体内稳态维持恒定的内环境。关键例子包括通过出汗、颤抖和血管舒张来调节体温，以及通过胰岛素和胰高血糖素调节血糖。这是理解负反馈机制的重要主题。
10. Coordination and Response | 协调与反应
The nervous system uses electrical impulses to coordinate rapid responses. Key structures are sensory neurones, relay neurones and motor neurones, connected via synapses. Reflex arcs produce fast, automatic reactions and are a classic data-analysis question.
神经系统利用电脉冲来协调快速反应。关键结构包括感觉神经元、联络神经元和运动神经元，它们通过突触连接。反射弧产生快速、自动的反应，是经典的数据分析考题。
Hormones are chemical messengers transported in the blood, producing slower but longer-lasting effects. Adrenaline prepares the body for ‘fight or flight’, while insulin and glucagon control blood glucose. Plants also respond to stimuli through tropisms: phototropism (light) and gravitropism (gravity), controlled by the plant hormone auxin.
激素是通过血液运输的化学信使，产生缓慢但持久的效果。肾上腺素让身体准备“战斗或逃跑”，胰岛素和胰高血糖素则调控血糖。植物也通过向性对刺激作出反应：向光性和向地性，由植物激素生长素控制。
11. Reproduction and Inheritance | 生殖与遗传
Reproduction can be sexual (fusion of gametes, producing variation) or asexual (no gametes, genetically identical offspring). In humans, the male produces sperm, the female produces eggs, and fertilisation normally occurs in the oviduct. The placenta allows exchange of nutrients, gases and wastes between mother and foetus.
生殖可分为有性生殖（配子融合，产生变异）和无性生殖（无配子，子代遗传相同）。人类中，男性产生精子，女性产生卵子，受精通常发生在输卵管内。胎盘负责母体与胎儿之间的营养、气体和废物交换。
Inheritance is the transmission of genetic information. Key terms: gene, allele, dominant, recessive, homozygous, heterozygous, phenotype and genotype. You must be able to construct monohybrid crosses using Punnett squares to predict ratios of offspring, and interpret pedigree diagrams. DNA is a double helix polymer made of nucleotides, with complementary base pairs A–T and C–G.
遗传是遗传信息的传递。关键术语：基因、等位基因、显性、隐性、纯合子、杂合子、表现型与基因型。你必须能运用庞纳特方格构建单基因杂交，预测子代比例，并解读遗传家系图。DNA 是双螺旋的多聚体，由核苷酸构成，具有互补碱基配对 A–T 和 C–G。
12. Ecology and Human Influences | 生态与人类影响
Ecology studies the interactions of organisms with each other and their environment. You will learn about food chains, food webs, trophic levels and energy transfer (only about 10% of energy is passed to the next trophic level). The carbon cycle and nitrogen cycle are essential for nutrient recycling, involving key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, nitrogen fixation and denitrification.
生态学研究生物之间以及生物与环境之间的相互作用。你将学习食物链、食物网、营养级和能量传递（仅约 10% 的能量流入下一营养级）。碳循环与氮循环对养分再循环至关重要，涉及光合作用、呼吸作用、分解作用、固氮和反硝化等关键过程。
Human activities have major impacts on ecosystems. Deforestation, pollution (including eutrophication and acid rain), and the enhanced greenhouse effect leading to global warming are key concerns. Conservation and sustainable development aim to protect biodiversity and ensure resources for future generations.
人类活动对生态系统产生重大影响。森林砍伐、污染（包括富营养化和酸雨）以及加剧的温室效应导致全球变暖，都是关键问题。保护与可持续发展旨在保护生物多样性，确保后代资源永续。
