I’m still trying to wrap my head around how the process of transcription differs between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells—specifically, why RNA processing steps like splicing aren’t necessary in prokaryotes.

The analogy comparing enzymes to “lock-and-key” systems helped me picture how specific their shape has to be for a reaction to happen. Makes it easier to remember why temperature and pH changes can mess things up.

I’m a little unclear on how feedback inhibition works in biochemical pathways—specifically, how the end product “knows” to block the first enzyme in the sequence.

The idea that the cell membrane is like a “security checkpoint” made it easier for me to understand selective permeability.
