Resource scarcity leads to competition among organisms as they compete for limited resources such as food, water, and shelter. This competition is directly linked to the survival of organisms, as those that are better able to secure these resources are more likely to survive and reproduce. The competition for resources also drives natural selection, as organisms with advantageous traits that help them compete are more likely to pass on their genes to future generations. Overall, resource scarcity, competition, and the survival of organisms are interconnected in a complex ecosystem where only the fittest are able to thrive.
