Resource scarcity, competition, and the survival of organisms are interconnected as they all play crucial roles in the natural selection process. Resource scarcity refers to the limited availability of resources such as food, water, and shelter for organisms. This scarcity leads to competition among individuals within a population, as they compete for limited resources to meet their needs and survive. The competition then drives the selection of the fittest individuals who are better adapted to acquire resources and thus increases their chances of survival and reproductive success in the long run.
