Carbon is a essential element for all life on earth. The primary function of the the Carbon Cycle is to exchange carbon throughout earth between the atmosphere,oceans,ecosystems, and geosphere.

Survival of the fittest definition biology
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

"Survival of the fittest" is a phrase that originated from Darwinian evolutionary theory as a way of describing the mechanism of natural selection. The biological concept of fitness is defined as reproductive success.

Explanation:

The Darwinian evolutionary theory was created by Charles Darwin.

Darwin published his theory of evolution with compelling evidence in his 1859 book On the Origin of Species, overcoming scientific rejection of earlier concepts of transmutation of species. By the 1870s, the scientific community and a majority of the educated public had accepted evolution as a fact.
