3. Cell Division: Mitosis and the Cell Cycle | 细胞分裂：有丝分裂与细胞周期
Understand that mitosis produces two genetically identical daughter cells for growth and repair. You must be able to describe the stages of the cell cycle clearly: DNA replication, chromosome alignment, separation, and cytokinesis. Relate the process to cancerous growth, where uncontrolled division occurs. Remember that WJEC examiners often ask for the significance of mitosis rather than just the names of phases.
理解有丝分裂会产生两个基因完全相同的子细胞，用于生长和修复。你必须能够清晰地描述细胞周期的各个阶段：DNA 复制、染色体排列、分离和胞质分裂。将该过程与癌症联系起来，即细胞不受控制地分裂。请记住，WJEC 考官经常询问有丝分裂的意义，而不仅仅是阶段名称。
Cell cycle sequence: Interphase → Prophase → Metaphase → Anaphase → Telophase → Cytokinesis
细胞周期顺序：间期 → 前期 → 中期 → 后期 → 末期 → 胞质分裂
4. Digestive System and Enzymes | 消化系统与酶
Trace the path of food from the mouth to the anus, naming organs and their roles. Concentrate on enzyme action: amylase breaks down starch into maltose, proteases turn proteins into amino acids, and lipases split lipids into fatty acids and glycerol. Use the lock-and-key model to explain specificity and recall the effect of temperature and pH on enzyme activity. Bile’s role in emulsification and neutralisation is a classic WJEC question.
追踪食物从口腔到肛门的路径，说出器官名称及其作用。重点关注酶的作用：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。运用锁钥模型解释酶的特异性，并回忆温度和 pH 对酶活性的影响。胆汁在乳化脂肪和中和胃酸中的作用是 WJEC 的经典考题。

8. Photosynthesis: The Big Picture | 光合作用：全局视角
Photosynthesis is an endothermic reaction that converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using light energy. Be confident with the word equation and the balanced chemical equation. Know that glucose is used for respiration, converted into starch for storage, synthesised into cellulose for cell walls, or combined with nitrates to produce amino acids. Limiting factors—light, CO₂ concentration, temperature—must be related to graph interpretation.
光合作用是一种吸热反应，利用光能将二氧化碳和水转化为葡萄糖和氧气。要熟练掌握文字方程式和配平的化学方程式。了解葡萄糖可用于呼吸作用、转化为淀粉储存、合成为细胞壁的纤维素，或与硝酸盐结合生成氨基酸。必须将限制因素——光照、二氧化碳浓度、温度——与图表解读联系起来。
6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ (with light and chlorophyll)
6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂（需要光和叶绿素）

11. Active Revision Techniques and Resources | 主动复习技巧与资源
Passive reading is insufficient for deep learning. Create flashcards for key definitions and draw mind maps connecting organ systems. Use past WJEC papers and the command-word guide (describe, explain, evaluate) to understand the depth required. Explaining concepts aloud to a family member or recording yourself teaching a topic reinforces memory. Dedicate the last days of your break to timed mock questions under exam conditions.
被动阅读不足以实现深入学习。制作关键定义的记忆卡片，绘制连接各个器官系统的思维导图。使用 WJEC 历年真题和指令词指南（描述、解释、评价），以理解所需的作答深度。向家人大声讲解概念或录下自己教授某个主题的过程，可以强化记忆。在寒假的最后几天，进行限时的模拟测验，模拟考试情景。
12. Self-Assessment and Gap Filling | 自我评估与查漏补缺
After each study session, quickly note which topics felt weak and revisit those spec points on your next review day. Use a traffic light system: green for solid understanding, amber for uncertainties, red for areas needing full reteaching. Compare your answers to mark schemes, focusing on the exact phrasing that gains marks. This reflective loop ensures you are not merely covering material but truly mastering it for the WJEC examination.
每次学习后，快速记下哪些主题感觉薄弱，并在下一个复习日重新回顾这些大纲要点。使用交通信号灯系统：绿色表示理解扎实，黄色表示存在疑问，红色表示需要完全重新学习的部分。将你的答案与评分标准进行比较，关注能够得分的精确表述。这个反思循环能确保你不仅仅是在浏览材料，而是在为 WJEC 考试真正掌握知识。
