Answer:

The colony decrease by 84%

Explanation:

Given -

Total population of butterflies before devastation (P) = 150

Total Population of butterflies that survived after the devastation = 24

Total population of butterflies that did not survived = P-p

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get-

Total population of butterflies that did not survived = 150 -24

Percentage by which the butterfly colony decreased = \frac{P-p}{P} * 100\\= \frac{150-24}{150} * 100\\= 84%

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.
