Answer:

Coelacanth

Explanation:

coelacanth is the extinct species that were present some 80 million years back on earth. These are large fishes with hollow spines that are attached to their bodies. They were usually of length approximately 2 meters and their body weight was about 200 pounds. From the research, it has been found that they live for nearly 60 years or even more than that. They have a distinct type of adaptive nature commonly called tapetum that is usually found to be present in the case of dolphins and dogs and their eyes are very much sensitive to the light.

By using the radioactive dating method, it has been determined that these fossilized coelacanth species were present about 350 million years back. This organism was recently caught off the coast of Madagascar in 1938.

Natali [406]
The correct sequence is; Glycolysis-pyruvate-acetyl CoA-krebs cycle-electron transport chain. 
Glycolysis is a sequence of reactions for the breakdown of glucose to two molecules of pyruvic acid under aerobic conditions, Krebs cycle is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to release stored energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into carbon dioxide and chemical energy in the energy carriers, while electron transport chain involves a series of complexes that transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors via redox reactions and couples this transfer with the transfer of protons across a membrane.
