A hummingbird is "drinking" nectar containing sugar from a red columbine flower. Arrange the following events to occur in the hummingbird in order from the first to last:
(1)Glucose sugar is converted to pyruvate.
(2)Energy from high-energy electrons is released from an electron transport chain. This energy is used to make ATP.
(3)The hummingbird exhales carbon dioxide and energy is stored in electron carriers.
(4)The hummingbird has the ability to beat its wings 40 - 80 times a second.

The correct sequence starts with the conversion of glucose to pyruvate (glycolysis), followed by the release of carbon dioxide and storage of energy in electron carriers (Krebs cycle), then the use of this energy to make ATP in the electron transport chain, and finally, the physical manifestation of this energy allows the hummingbird to beat its wings rapidly.
