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.

Answer:

Lightly pigmented people tend to be at higher risk of vitamin D deficiency

Explanation:

BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE:

Human skin is the largest organ of the body which makes boundary line between environment and internal conditions.  Human skin cell produces pigment called melanin when ever it is subjected to Sun. More the melanin pigment produced more will be the skin darkens. Ultraviolet (UV) radiations also come from Sun and responsible for more pigmentation.

ANSWER EXPLANATION:

According to the question darkly pigmentation only occurs when their is high level of UV radiations. High level of UV radiations are also responsible for Vitamin D production.

People with lightly pigmented means that there environment has low level of UV radiations which are the requirement of Vitamin D production. Hence due to low UV radiations peoples with light pigmentation's are also be at higher risk of vitamin D deficiency

in question number 6, the correct answer is false. this is because arrow  C is representing a combustion reaction whereby hydrocarbon or organic carbon from the fossil fuel is burnt in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide. this process is not conversion of chemical energy to mechanical energy. in this process energy will still be stored in form of chemical energy in the bonds of carbon dioxide and water produce


in the question number 7 the correct answer is true.  this is because the green plant is using energy from the such for the process of photosynthesis. photosynthesis is a process by which green plants make their own food using energy from the light. light energy is used to split the molecules of water to oxygen and hydrogen ions. oxygen is released into the atmosphere whereas hydrogen ions are used in the dark stage of photosynthesis a process referred to as carbon fixation. the end result of carbon fixation is production of organic compounds such as glucose, protein and lipids among others. these foods store energy in form of chemical energy. so arrow A represents transfer of solar energy to chemical energy


in the question number 8, the arrows that represent the release of carbon dioxide include arrow C and arrow F. in arrow C the process occurring is referred to as combustion and it occurs when hydrocarbon in fossil fuels reaction with oxygen in the presence of heat to produce carbon dioxide and water. the arrow F represents respiration, a process by which living cells manufacture energy in form of ATP from organic food such as glucose. respiration end products include water carbon dioxide and ATP. it is essentially the reverse of photosynthesis


in question number 9, arrow E represents cycling of carbon from living organisms to non-living organisms. this is because it is showing conversion of a carbon from the dead tree to fossil fuel. when plants and animals die and buried deep in the ground, they are slowly converted to fossil fuels which contain organic hydrocarbon compounds including petrol, kerosene and other compounds.


in question number 10, arrow B & C show the conservation of energy and mass. when living organisms die they are converted to fossil fuels which are used in industries to produce energy required for various activities. during this process carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere and it is used by plants in the process of photosynthesis as shown by B. this is conservation of energy and mass the number of carbon in the fossils fuel initially came from living plants and when fossil fuel is combusted it produces carbon dioxide that will be used in the process of photosynthesis and cycle continues.
