Most of these have issues of citation and rearrangement but might not have as much additional info. Tertiary structure and transmembrane domain or carbohydrate metabolism may hae the most possibilities. Do some literature searches to see what might be able to be added.

Karina's Peer Review for Carbohydrate Metabolism:

Overall the article is pretty good and flows really well! Here are some suggestions:

- the lead section is good but could maybe be simplified a little bit since it has a lot of information.

- the metabolic pathways section is very well organized and easy to read. Maybe try to balance it out a little more since some of the sections for each pathway have more information that others don't, such as where the pathway occurs or what it is regulated by

- maybe adding images that show some of the pathways could be helpful

- the last couple sections can also use a couple more citations or more of a variety of sources to confirm the information

- some of the sentences were kind of short and choppy and can flow a little better, but overall the article was easy to understand.

Peer Review: Overall it was good and doesn't feel like it has knowledge gaps. I like it. Still here are some suggestions I would recommend to make it even better.

  • reword/rephrase the lead section that says something like "plants are consumed animals and fungi...." and the following sentence. It goes from carbohydrates to animals to cellular respirations without making it clear that the animals are using cellular respiration to metabolize the carbohydrates (tie it to glucose?). It makes sense but I am just trying to consider reading this in middle school or high school and how i would feel about it then.
  • A diagram (is at all possible to even make) relating the metabolic pathways to and from glucose so the relation they have with each other and glucose is instantly visible.
  • there is a part that says "glucose regulation and product use" and I may be stupid but is that supposed to be "production?" or just "use"?

That is all I have. Good job overall! This one either was a hefty one or you made it hefty... either way KUDOS! - Arash
