Prokaryotes are organisms made up of single cell only. The cellular processes are not much complex because the energy input would increase then. Prokaryotes spend energy judiciously as the source of nutrition is very limited. The main aim is to reproduce or survive adverse conditions. That's why prokaryotes regulate the metabolism quickly.

The quicker the regulation, the less energy and material wasted to unneeded products and pathways.

If an organism has high biological fitness in one environment, does that mean that it would also have high biological fitness in

Marina86 [1]

The answer is no, high biological fitness in one environment doesn’t have to be high in another environment.

Biological fitness is a term used in evolutionary biology and it is the quantitative representation of how a genotype (or phenotype) is successful (reproductively) in a certain environment. Fitness depends on environment so it changes if the environment changes. The fitness of a genotype is manifested through its phenotype, which is affected by the environment.
