1. Cell Structure and Function | 细胞结构与功能

In SQA exams, labelling and comparing plant, animal, fungal and bacterial cells is a high-frequency task. A common mistake is confusing the cell wall with the cell membrane: all cells have a cell membrane, but only plants, fungi and bacteria possess a cell wall. Another persistent error is assuming bacteria have a nucleus; instead, they contain a single circular chromosome and often plasmids. When shown a diagram, look for chloroplasts and a large permanent vacuole to identify a plant cell. Yeast is a fungus – its cell wall is made of chitin, not cellulose.

在 SQA 考试中，标注并比较植物、动物、真菌和细菌细胞是高频考点。一个常见错误是混淆细胞壁与细胞膜：所有细胞都有细胞膜，但只有植物、真菌和细菌具有细胞壁。另一个反复出现的错误是认为细菌有细胞核；实际上，细菌含有一条环状染色体，并常带有质粒。当面对细胞示意图时，寻找叶绿体和中央大液泡是鉴定植物细胞的关键。酵母是一种真菌，其细胞壁由几丁质构成，而非纤维素。

A frequent misconception is that plant cells lack mitochondria because they photosynthesise. In reality, plants require mitochondria for aerobic respiration to release metabolic energy, so both chloroplasts and mitochondria are present in photosynthesising cells. Bacteria, however, do not have mitochondria; their respiration occurs on the cell membrane.

一个常见误解是，植物细胞因进行光合作用而没有线粒体。事实上，植物需要线粒体进行有氧呼吸以释放代谢能量，因此进行光合作用的细胞同时拥有叶绿体和线粒体。然而，细菌没有线粒体，它们的呼吸作用发生在细胞膜上。

2. DNA and Protein Synthesis | DNA 与蛋白质合成

A classic exam pitfall is mixing up DNA replication with protein synthesis. DNA replication copies the entire genome before cell division; protein synthesis transcribes and translates a single gene to build a polypeptide. Common errors include writing thymine (T) in mRNA codons instead of uracil (U). For a DNA template strand such as TAC GGA, the correct mRNA is AUG CCU. Students also forget that transcription occurs inside the nucleus and translation at ribosomes in the cytoplasm.
