1. Biological Molecules | 生物分子

Carbohydrates are organic compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, often with the general formula Cₓ(H₂O)ᵧ. Monosaccharides such as glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) are the simplest units. Disaccharides (e.g., sucrose, maltose) form via condensation reactions that release water, while polysaccharides like starch and glycogen serve as energy stores. Lipids, including triglycerides, consist of glycerol and three fatty acids joined by ester bonds; they are hydrophobic and important for long-term energy storage and insulation. Proteins are polymers of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. The primary structure is the sequence of amino acids; the secondary structure involves α-helices and β-pleated sheets stabilised by hydrogen bonds; the tertiary structure is the overall 3D shape maintained by interactions such as disulfide bridges, ionic bonds, and hydrophobic interactions; quaternary structure arises when multiple polypeptide chains assemble.

碳水化合物是由碳、氢、氧组成的有机化合物，通常通式为Cₓ(H₂O)ᵧ。单糖（如葡萄糖C₆H₁₂O₆）是最简单的单位。二糖（如蔗糖、麦芽糖）通过释放水的缩合反应形成，而多糖（如淀粉和糖原）作为能量储存。脂质包括甘油三酯，由甘油和三个脂肪酸经酯键连接组成；它们具有疏水性，对长期储能和隔热很重要。蛋白质是由氨基酸通过肽键连接而成的多聚体。一级结构是氨基酸序列；二级结构涉及通过氢键稳定的α-螺旋和β-折叠；三级结构是通过二硫键、离子键和疏水相互作用维持的整体三维形状；四级结构出现在多条多肽链组装时。

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

Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles including a nucleus that houses genetic material, mitochondria for aerobic respiration, ribosomes for protein synthesis, and the endoplasmic reticulum (rough and smooth) involved in transport and lipid synthesis. The Golgi apparatus modifies and packages proteins, while lysosomes contain digestive enzymes. Plant cells also possess a cellulose cell wall, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and a large permanent vacuole for storage and turgor. Prokaryotic cells lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles; they have a circular DNA chromosome, plasmids, 70S ribosomes, and a cell wall containing peptidoglycan. Cell fractionation and ultracentrifugation are used for studying organelle function by separating components based on density.

真核细胞含有膜包被的细胞器，包括储存遗传物质的细胞核、进行有氧呼吸的线粒体、合成蛋白质的核糖体以及内质网（粗面和滑面），参与运输和脂质合成。高尔基体修饰和包装蛋白质，而溶酶体含有消化酶。植物细胞还具有纤维素细胞壁、进行光合作用的叶绿体和一个用于储存和维持张力的中央大液泡。原核细胞缺少真正的细胞核和膜包被的细胞器；它们具有环状DNA染色体、质粒、70S核糖体和含肽聚糖的细胞壁。细胞分级分离和超速离心法通过基于密度的组分分离用于研究细胞器的功能。

3. Enzymes and Biological Reactions | 酶与生物反应

Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower activation energy by forming enzyme-substrate complexes. The active site is specific to a substrate due to its complementary shape. The lock-and-key model and the induced-fit model explain enzyme-substrate interaction. Factors affecting enzyme activity include temperature, pH, substrate concentration, and enzyme concentration. Denaturation occurs when extremes of temperature or pH disrupt hydrogen and ionic bonds, altering the active site shape permanently. Competitive inhibitors bind to the active site, while non-competitive inhibitors bind to an allosteric site, changing the shape of the active site. The rate of enzyme-catalysed reactions can be measured by monitoring product formation or substrate disappearance over time.

酶是生物催化剂，通过形成酶-底物复合物降低活化能。活性位点因其形状与底物互补而具有特异性。锁钥模型和诱导契合模型解释了酶-底物相互作用。影响酶活性的因素包括温度、pH、底物浓度和酶浓度。当极端的温度或pH破坏氢键和离子键，永久改变活性位点形状时，酶会变性。竞争性抑制剂与活性位点结合，而非竞争性抑制剂与变构位点结合，改变活性位点的形状。酶催化反应的速率可通过监测产物生成或底物减少随时间的变化来测定。

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 (Z) defines the element and equals the number of protons. The mass number (A) is the sum of protons and neutrons. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. Electron configuration follows the filling order 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d. The periodic table is arranged by increasing atomic number; periods correspond to shell filling, and groups to the number of outer-shell electrons. Trends such as atomic radius, ionisation energy, and electronegativity can be explained by nuclear charge, shielding, and electron-electron repulsion. First ionisation energy is the energy required to remove one mole of electrons from gaseous atoms.

原子由包含质子和中子的原子核以及核外分层排布的电子组成。原子序数（Z）定义元素，等于质子数。质量数（A）是质子与中子之和。同位素是同一元素中子数不同的原子。电子排布遵循填充顺序1s、2s、2p、3s、3p、4s、3d。元素周期表按原子序数递增排列；周期对应电子层填充，族对应最外层电子数。原子半径、电离能和电负性等趋势可用核电荷、屏蔽效应和电子间排斥力解释。第一电离能是从气态原子中移除一摩尔电子所需的能量。

5. Chemical Bonding and Structure | 化学键与结构

Ionic bonding involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions formed by electron transfer. Ionic compounds form giant ionic lattices with high melting points and conductivity when molten or dissolved. Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electron pairs. Simple molecular substances have low melting points and poor conductivity; giant covalent structures such as diamond (C) and silica (SiO₂) have high melting points and hardness. Metallic bonding consists of delocalised electrons surrounding positive metal ions, allowing conductivity, malleability, and ductility. The valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory predicts molecular shapes based on electron pair repulsion: linear (CO₂), trigonal planar (BF₃), tetrahedral (CH₄), pyramidal (NH₃), and bent (H₂O). Electronegativity differences determine bond polarity, leading to polar molecules and intermolecular forces such as hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole interactions, and London dispersion forces.

离子键涉及通过电子转移形成的带相反电荷离子之间的静电引力。离子化合物形成巨型离子晶格，具有高熔点，并在熔融或溶解时导电。共价键涉及电子对的共享。简单分子物质熔点低，导电性差；巨共价结构（如金刚石C和二氧化硅SiO₂）熔点和硬度都很高。金属键由包围金属正离子的离域电子组成，赋予金属导电性、展性和延性。价层电子对互斥理论（VSEPR）根据电子对排斥预测分子形状：直线形（CO₂）、平面三角形（BF₃）、正四面体形（CH₄）、三角锥形（NH₃）和V形（H₂O）。电负性差异决定键的极性，从而产生极性分子和分子间作用力，如氢键、偶极-偶极作用和伦敦色散力。

6. Energetics and Kinetics | 能量学与动力学

Enthalpy change (ΔH) measures heat energy transferred under constant pressure. Exothermic reactions release energy (ΔH negative); endothermic reactions absorb energy (ΔH positive). Standard enthalpy changes include enthalpy of combustion (Δ_cH°) and enthalpy of formation (Δ_fH°). Hess’s law states that the total enthalpy change for a reaction is independent of the route. Bond enthalpies can be used to estimate ΔH. Reaction kinetics studies rates. Rate = change in concentration / time. Factors affecting rate: concentration, pressure (gases), temperature, surface area, and catalysts. The collision theory requires particles to collide with sufficient energy (≥ activation energy, E_a) and correct orientation. The Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution illustrates the energies of particles; higher temperature shifts the peak to higher energies and increases the fraction of particles exceeding E_a. Catalysts provide an alternative pathway with lower E_a.

焓变（ΔH）衡量恒压下传递的热能。放热反应释放能量（ΔH为负）；吸热反应吸收能量（ΔH为正）。标准焓变包括燃烧焓（Δ_cH°）和生成焓（Δ_fH°）。盖斯定律指出反应的总焓变与途径无关。键焓可用于估算ΔH。反应动力学研究反应速率。速率=浓度的变化/时间。影响速率的因素：浓度、压力（气体）、温度、表面积和催化剂。碰撞理论要求粒子以足够能量（≥活化能E_a）和正确取向碰撞。麦克斯韦-玻尔兹曼分布展示了粒子的能量分布；升高温度使峰值向高能移动，增大了超过E_a的粒子比例。催化剂提供了较低E_a的替代途径。

7. Kinematics and Dynamics | 运动学与动力学

Kinematics describes motion using quantities: displacement (s), velocity (v), acceleration (a), and time (t). Equations of uniformly accelerated motion: v = u + at, s = ut + ½at², v² = u² + 2as, s = ½(u+v)t. Motion graphs (displacement-time, velocity-time) allow determination of gradient and area. Dynamics relates force and motion. Newton’s laws: 1st law – an object remains at rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by a net external force; 2nd law – F = ma; 3rd law – action and reaction are equal and opposite. Weight = mg. Free-body diagrams show forces. Projectile motion can be resolved into horizontal (constant velocity) and vertical (constant acceleration g = 9.81 m s⁻²) components. Linear momentum p = mv; conservation of momentum applies in closed systems.

运动学使用位移（s）、速度（v）、加速度（a）和时间（t）等量描述运动。匀加速运动方程：v = u + at，s = ut + ½at²，v² = u² + 2as，s = ½(u+v)t。运动图像（位移-时间图、速度-时间图）可确定斜率和面积。动力学将力和运动联系起来。牛顿定律：第一定律——除非受到净外力作用，物体将保持静止或匀速直线运动；第二定律——F = ma；第三定律——作用力和反作用力大小相等、方向相反。重量 = mg。受力图展示各力。抛体运动可分解为水平（匀速）和竖直（匀加速度g = 9.81 m s⁻²）分量。线动量p = mv；动量守恒适用于封闭系统。

8. Waves and Optics | 波与光学

Progressive waves transfer energy without transferring matter. Transverse waves (e.g., light) have oscillations perpendicular to direction of travel; longitudinal waves (e.g., sound) have oscillations parallel. Key terms: amplitude, wavelength (λ), frequency (f), period (T), wave speed v = fλ. Phase difference describes the fraction of a cycle between two points. Superposition leads to interference: constructive when in phase, destructive when out of phase. Stationary waves form from two identical waves travelling in opposite directions, producing nodes and antinodes. Refraction occurs when waves change speed at a boundary; Snell’s law: n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂. Total internal reflection occurs when the angle of incidence exceeds the critical angle (sin C = 1/n). In optics, lenses follow the thin lens equation 1/f = 1/u + 1/v, with magnification m = v/u.

行波传递能量而不传递物质。横波（如光）的振动方向垂直于传播方向；纵波（如声音）的振动平行于传播方向。关键术语：振幅、波长（λ）、频率（f）、周期（T）、波速v = fλ。相位差描述两点之间波形周期的分数。叠加导致干涉：同相产生加强，反相产生减弱。驻波由两列相同、反向传播的行波叠加形成，产生波节和波腹。当波在边界处改变速度时发生折射；斯涅尔定律：n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂。当入射角超过临界角时发生全内反射（sin C = 1/n）。在光学中，透镜遵循薄透镜方程1/f = 1/u + 1/v，放大倍数m = v/u。
