For me it was the opposite. Classic chemistry: redox / pressure / temperature. Three dials and you’ll get what you want as long as the atoms are there.

Here’s how glucose relates to the ADP/ATP cycle! It doesn’t work unless temperature is 37C ± 1C
Organic chemistry is the hardest part of chemistry
To be honest not the hardest but super hard and takes really long time to get into it
Oddly, I found it far more intuitive and entertaining than gen chem, yet barely got through orgo 1 with a D

That’s biochem. O chem is is this reaction a substitution or replacement. Does this catalyst make a product in cis or trans orientation. Etc
Gen chem had a lot of shit about molecular angles and types of bonds and polarity.
