1. Cell Biology and Life Processes | 细胞生物学与生命过程
All living organisms are made of cells, which can be prokaryotic (bacteria) or eukaryotic (animals, plants, fungi). Eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria and ribosomes, while plant cells also have a cell wall, chloroplasts and a permanent vacuole. Key life processes are remembered by MRS GREN: Movement, Respiration, Sensitivity, Growth, Reproduction, Excretion and Nutrition.
所有生物都由细胞构成，细胞分为原核细胞（细菌）和真核细胞（动物、植物、真菌）。真核细胞含有细胞核、细胞质、细胞膜、线粒体和核糖体，而植物细胞还具有细胞壁、叶绿体和中央大液泡。重要的生命过程可用 MRS GREN 来记忆：运动、呼吸、应激性、生长、繁殖、排泄和营养。
Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up metabolic reactions. They have an active site with a specific shape that fits a particular substrate, and they are affected by temperature and pH. Denaturation occurs when the active site changes shape permanently due to extreme heat or pH.
酶是加快代谢反应的生物催化剂。酶有特定形状的活性位点，只与特定底物结合，且活性受温度和 pH 影响。极端高温或 pH 会导致活性位点永久变形，发生变性。
2. Genetics and Evolution | 遗传与进化
DNA is a double helix polymer made of nucleotides, each containing a sugar, a phosphate group and a base (A, T, C, G). A gene is a section of DNA that codes for a specific protein. The order of bases determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein, which then folds into a specific shape essential for its function.
DNA 是由核苷酸组成的双螺旋聚合物，每个核苷酸包含一个糖、一个磷酸基团和一个碱基（A、T、C、G）。基因是一段编码特定蛋白质的 DNA 序列。碱基顺序决定了蛋白质中氨基酸的排列，进而折叠成特定形状以实现其功能。
Inheritance follows patterns predicted by Punnett squares. Alleles can be dominant or recessive, and homozygous or heterozygous genotypes influence the phenotype. Natural selection explains how species evolve: individuals with advantageous variations are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on their genes to the next generation.
遗传规律可以通过庞纳特方格预测。等位基因有显性和隐性之分，纯合或杂合基因型影响表现型。自然选择解释了物种如何进化：拥有有利变异的个体更可能存活和繁殖，从而将基因传给下一代。
3. Ecosystems and Energy Transfer | 生态系统与能量传递
An ecosystem consists of a community of organisms interacting with their abiotic environment. Food chains show the flow of energy from producers (plants) to primary consumers (herbivores), secondary consumers (carnivores) and decomposers. Only about 10% of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next; the rest is lost through movement, heat and undigested waste.
生态系统由生物群落及其与非生物环境的相互作用构成。食物链展示了能量从生产者（植物）到初级消费者（食草动物）、次级消费者（食肉动物）和分解者的流动。每个营养级仅能传递约 10% 的能量至下一级；其余能量通过运动、热和未消化废物散失。
Carbon and nitrogen are recycled through the environment. The carbon cycle involves photosynthesis, respiration, combustion and decomposition. The nitrogen cycle includes nitrogen fixation by bacteria, nitrification, uptake by plants, and denitrification. Human activities such as deforestation and burning fossil fuels disturb these cycles.
碳和氮在环境中循环利用。碳循环涉及光合作用、呼吸作用、燃烧和分解。氮循环包括固氮细菌的固氮作用、硝化作用、植物吸收和反硝化作用。砍伐森林和燃烧化石燃料等人类活动会扰乱这些循环。
4. Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table | 原子结构与元素周期表
Atoms consist of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons in shells. The atomic number is the number of protons, while the mass number is the total number of protons plus neutrons. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
原子由包含质子和中子的原子核以及分层排布的电子构成。原子序数等于质子数，质量数为质子数加中子数。同位素是同一元素中子数不同的原子。
The Periodic Table arranges elements in order of increasing atomic number. Groups (vertical columns) contain elements with the same number of outer electrons and similar chemical properties. Periods (horizontal rows) show a trend in properties. Group 1 are the alkali metals, Group 7 are the halogens, and Group 0 are the noble gases.
元素周期表按原子序数递增排列。族（纵列）中的元素最外层电子数相同，化学性质相似。周期（横行）展示性质的递变规律。第 1 族是碱金属，第 7 族是卤素，第 0 族是稀有气体。
5. Chemical Bonding and Structure | 化学键与结构
Ionic bonding occurs between metals and non‑metals, where electrons are transferred to form positive and negative ions. These ions are held together by strong electrostatic forces in a giant ionic lattice, giving high melting points and conductivity when molten or dissolved.
离子键形成于金属和非金属之间，通过电子转移形成正离子和负离子。大量离子以强静电吸引力结合成巨型离子晶格，因此离子化合物熔沸点高，在熔融或溶解状态下可导电。
Covalent bonding happens when non‑metal atoms share pairs of electrons. Simple molecular substances (e.g., H₂O, CO₂) have low melting points and do not conduct electricity. Giant covalent structures (e.g., diamond, graphite, silicon dioxide) have very high melting points due to endless networks of strong covalent bonds.
共价键通过非金属原子共享电子对形成。简单分子物质（如 H₂O、CO₂）熔沸点低且不导电。巨型共价结构（如金刚石、石墨、二氧化硅）因无限延伸的强共价键网络而具有极高熔点。
6. Quantitative Chemistry and the Mole | 化学计量与摩尔
The mole is the unit for amount of substance. One mole of any substance contains 6.02 × 10²³ particles (Avogadro’s constant). The mass of one mole of a substance in grams is its relative formula mass (Mᵣ) or relative atomic mass (Aᵣ).
摩尔是物质的量的单位。1 摩尔任何物质含有 6.02 × 10²³ 个微粒（阿伏伽德罗常数）。1 摩尔物质的质量以克为单位时，数值上等于其相对式量（Mᵣ）或相对原子质量（Aᵣ）。
number of moles = mass (g) ÷ Mᵣ
You can use balanced equations to calculate reacting masses. The coefficients show the mole ratio. Calculate moles of known substance, use the ratio to find moles of unknown, then convert back to mass. Concentration is measured in mol/dm³ or g/dm³.
利用配平的化学方程式可计算反应质量。各物质前的化学计量数即摩尔比。计算已知物质的摩尔数，通过比例求出未知物的摩尔数，再换算成质量。浓度单位为 mol/dm³ 或 g/dm³。
7. Energy Changes and Rates of Reaction | 能量变化与反应速率
Exothermic reactions transfer energy to the surroundings, causing a temperature rise (e.g., combustion, neutralisation). Endothermic reactions absorb energy from the surroundings, causing a temperature drop (e.g., thermal decomposition). Bond breaking is endothermic; bond making is exothermic.
放热反应向环境释放能量，体系温度升高（如燃烧、中和反应）。吸热反应从环境吸收能量，体系温度下降（如热分解）。断键需要吸热，成键则会放热。
The rate of a reaction depends on temperature, concentration, surface area and the presence of a catalyst. Increasing temperature gives particles more kinetic energy and more frequent, successful collisions. Catalysts lower the activation energy without being used up.
反应速率受温度、浓度、表面积和催化剂的影响。升高温度使粒子动能增大，碰撞更频繁且有效碰撞增多。催化剂通过降低活化能加快反应，自身不被消耗。
8. Forces and Motion | 力与运动
Scalar quantities have magnitude only (e.g., speed, distance, mass). Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction (e.g., velocity, displacement, force). A resultant force causes acceleration according to Newton’s second law: F = m × a (force in newtons, mass in kg, acceleration in m/s²).
标量只有大小（如速率、路程、质量），矢量既有大小又有方向（如速度、位移、力）。合力产生加速度，遵循牛顿第二定律：F = m × a（力单位牛，质量单位千克，加速度单位米每二次方秒）。
Motion graphs help analyse movement. A distance‑time graph’s gradient gives speed; a velocity‑time graph’s gradient gives acceleration, and the area under the line gives distance travelled. For constant acceleration, use SUVAT equations (e.g., v = u + at).
运动图像可分析物体运动。距离-时间图斜率表示速率；速度-时间图斜率表示加速度，线下面积表示移动的距离。匀加速运动可使用 SUVAT 公式（如 v = u + at）。
9. Waves and the Electromagnetic Spectrum | 波与电磁波谱
Waves transfer energy without transferring matter. Transverse waves (e.g., light, water waves) have vibrations perpendicular to the direction of energy travel. Longitudinal waves (e.g., sound) have vibrations parallel to the direction of travel, compressing and rarefying the medium.
波传递能量而不传递物质。横波（如光波、水波）的振动方向与能量传播方向垂直。纵波（如声波）的振动方向与传播方向平行，介质产生压缩和稀疏。
The wave equation links speed (v), frequency (f) and wavelength (λ):
v = f × λ
The electromagnetic spectrum, in order of increasing frequency and decreasing wavelength, runs: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X‑rays and gamma rays. All EM waves travel at 3 × 10⁸ m/s in a vacuum and have various uses and dangers.
电磁波谱按频率递增、波长递减排列：无线电波、微波、红外线、可见光、紫外线、X 射线和伽马射线。所有电磁波在真空中都以 3 × 10⁸ m/s 的速度传播，各有不同用途和危害。
10. Electricity and Circuits | 电学与电路
Current (I) is the rate of flow of charge. In a series circuit, current is the same everywhere, while potential difference (voltage) is shared. In a parallel circuit, current splits across branches, but each branch receives the full supply voltage. Resistance (R) opposes current and is measured in ohms (Ω).
电流 (I) 是电荷流动的速率。串联电路中各处电流相等，电压则被分担。并联电路中电流在支路分配，但每条支路都得到相同的电源电压。电阻 (R) 阻碍电流流动，单位是欧姆 (Ω)。
V = I × R
Electrical power (P) is the rate of energy transfer, calculated by P = I × V or P = I² × R. Energy transferred can be found using E = P × t or E = I × V × t. Mains electricity is AC at around 230 V in the UK; safety devices include fuses and circuit breakers.
电功率 (P) 是能量转化的速率，可用 P = I × V 或 P = I² × R 计算。传递的能量用 E = P × t 或 E = I × V × t 计算。英国市电为 230 V 左右的交流电；安全装置有保险丝和断路器。
11. Energy, Work and Power | 能量、功与功率
Energy cannot be created or destroyed — only transferred, stored or dissipated. The main energy stores are kinetic, gravitational potential, thermal, elastic potential, chemical and nuclear. Work done (W) is energy transferred when a force moves an object: W = F × d (force × distance).
能量既不会创生也不会消失 —— 只能转化、储存或散失。主要的能量形式有动能、重力势能、热能、弹性势能、化学能和核能。功 (W) 是力使物体移动时传递的能量：W = F × d（力 × 距离）。
Power (P) is the rate of doing work or transferring energy: P = W ÷ t. Efficiency is the proportion of useful output energy transfer to total input energy transfer, often expressed as a percentage. Sankey diagrams show energy transfers, with arrow widths proportional to energy amounts.
功率 (P) 是做功或能量传递的速率：P = W ÷ t。效率是有用输出能量与总输入能量之比，通常用百分数表示。桑基图用箭头宽度表示能量的相对大小，直观显示能量转化与散失。
12. Radioactivity and Nuclear Physics | 放射性现象与核物理
Some atomic nuclei are unstable and emit radiation to become more stable. Three types of nuclear radiation exist: alpha particles (α, helium nuclei, highly ionising, stopped by paper), beta particles (β, fast electrons, moderately ionising, stopped by aluminium) and gamma rays (γ, electromagnetic, weakly ionising, reduced by lead).
部分原子核不稳定，会释放辐射变得更稳定。核辐射有三种：α 粒子（氦原子核，电离能力强，纸张可阻挡），β 粒子（高速电子，电离能力中等，铝箔可阻挡）和 γ 射线（电磁波，电离能力弱，铅可减弱）。
Radioactive decay is a random process measured by half‑life, the time taken for half the radioactive nuclei in a sample to decay. Background radiation comes from natural sources (rocks, cosmic rays) and artificial sources (medical uses). Nuclear fission is the splitting of large nuclei (e.g., uranium) to release energy, while fusion joins small nuclei (e.g., hydrogen) at very high temperatures.
放射性衰变是随机过程，用半衰期衡量，即样品中半数原子核衰变所需的时间。背景辐射来自天然源（岩石、宇宙射线）和人造源（医疗用途）。核裂变是重核（如铀）分裂释放能量；核聚变是在极高温度下轻核（如氢）结合。
