Difficult part: overall, the section seems pretty easy to understand, but I was a little unsure of what the metabolism plot would look like on a linear scale; it should be some kind of geometric curve, right?

Reflective part: the regularity with which metabolism scales and the prevalence is quite interesting. This seems to be another example where mathematics can provide an explanation for how something occurs, even when biology is unable to explain why.
