Answer:
Competition is influenced by resource scarcity, and competition influences organisms survival.
Explanation:
Competition is caused if there is a scarcity of resources. Competition can result in inferior organisms dying because they could not "win", in a sense, the competition for resources (food), which affects survival of organisms. Scarcity of resources is somewhat influenced by the survival of organisms because more organisms means more food is being consumed, but scarcity can also be affected by the climate. They all connect by being critical factors in an ecosystem.
