The formation of the volcanic island (Surtsey) took place due to the disturbance in primary succession.

Further Explanation:

The primary succession species are those which arise in a new habitat that was initially unoccupied by any pre-existing community as a result of lava flow or landslide. The primary succession occurs in an area that was initially lifeless, such as barren lands or bare rocks exposed to lava or glaciers. The first colonists or inhabitants in such areas are plants or lichens. These are called pioneering species as they act upon the rocks and help in their conversion into the soil. The soil thus formed supports the growth of the grasses.  

The further modification of the soil by the grasses results in the invasion of the area by other plant species. Therefore, with each stage during primary succession, the new species modifies the soil which leads to the colonization of some of the other plant species, thus altering the habitat.Any kind of disturbances in a primary succession can result in the formation of a volcanic island, a new habitat for un predicted and existing flora and fauna. One such example is the formation of a volcanic island on the southern coast of Iceland, Surtsey.

<span>The formation of Surtsey, a volcanic island off of the southern coast of Ireland. By definition, primary succession refers to when the structure of an ecosystem changes drastically in such a way that it can no longer support organisms. In this case of ecological succession, the formation of the volcanic island creates a new habitat that is unpredicted and is not influenced by any existing ecosystems.</span>

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.

Temperatures are rising world-wide due to greenhouse gases trapping more heat in the atmosphere.

• Droughts are becoming longer and more extreme around the world.

• Tropical storms becoming more severe due to warmer ocean water temperatures.

• As temperatures rise there is less snowpack in mountain ranges and polar areas and the snow melts faster.

• Overall, glaciers are melting at a faster rate.

• Sea ice in the Arctic Ocean around the North Pole is melting faster with the warmer temperatures.

• Permafrost is melting, releasing methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere.

• Sea levels are rising, threatening coastal communities and estuarine ecosystems.
