I don't think there's going to be much of a correlation here, at least not on FKRS, context is too important (I'm a teacher and have actually looked a several of these "readability" scores. Out of curiosity I ran a test on some of my lecture notes from an upper level biology class I took in college, it got...
Readability 64.5
Grade level. 10.8
Which goes to show it's very probably the actual coherence of your essay has very little to do with the grade level or readability score. Here is the text that I analyzed.
"The entire reaction of Complex IV is as follows
4 cytochrome c (Fe2+) + 4H+ + O2 4 cytochrome c (Fe3+) + 2H2O
It contains 4 redox centers, cytochrome a, cytochrome a3 a Cu atom called CuB and a pair of copper atoms called CuA center which are bridged by the sulfur atoms of two Cys residues making it a bit like a [2Fe-2S] cluster.
The electrons proceed in a linear manner from cytochrome c to the CuA center, then to the heme a then to heme a3 and CuB. each electron moved moves one H+ to the intermembrane space from the matrix.
However the Fe of the heme from a3 forms a binuclear complex with CuB a3-CuB
The His 240 of the CuB is covalently attached to a Tyr 244 which moves the phenolic-OH group of Tyr 244 close to the heme a3
SO
The oxidized binuclear complex [Fe(III)a3—OH- Cu(II)B] is reduced (via cytochrome a heme and CuA) to [Fe(II)a3 Cu(I)B] and one proton from the matrix (along with the the H from the hydroxyl"
