Answer: best adapted to the environment

Explanation: fitness can be thought of as fit for purpose. The most fit for purpose organism is the one best adapted to its environment.

Nevertheless, all the options are characteristic of adaptation

It is not particularly useful to discuss natural selection in terms of individuals and not populations. An advantageous mutation in one individual is the theoretical starting point for a better adapted population, but adaptation happens in a population very slowly if at all if it depends on a single individual. The smaller the population, the higher the probability that the adaptation will be eliminated by chance.

Neural impulses are transmitted to bipolar cells when light energy enters the eye and triggers ________ in the rods and cones.
lana66690 [7]

Neural impulses are transmitted to bipolar cells when light energy enters the eye and triggers CHEMICAL CHANGES in the rods and cones. This process is known as phototransduction.

Phototransduction refers to the process by which photoreceptors convert light into electrical signals.

Photoreceptors (i.e., rod and cone cells) are specialized cells in the retina of the eye which are capable of converting light into electrical signals and thus trigger different physiological processes.

Phototransduction is triggered by the activation of signaling proteins, that open or close ion membrane channels in photoreceptor cells.

Where do plants get the carbon needed to make glucose molecules during the process of photosynthesis?
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

From CARBONDIOXIDE (CO2) found in the atmosphere

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process performed by autotrophic organisms like green plants. It is a phenomenon whereby these plants manufacture their own food (sugars) using an inorganic carbon source in the presence of sunlight to provide energy.

The major end product of photosynthesis is glucose, which has a carbon constituent i.e. C6H12O6. However, this carbon needed to make glucose is got from an inorganic molecule called CARBON DIOXIDE, which the plants take from the atmosphere in via the stomata on their leaves.
