Answer 1

Your question is: How does competition affect organisms? Well here is the answer. Competition is a way of winning or competing in challenging situations. For organisms, if the compete the organism could get injured by depending on the way the compete. They could fight, which is a common thing for living things.

Answer 2

Competition is very important in determining the characteristics of a population. There are two types of competition, these are intraspecific competition and interspecific competition. In interspecific competition members of different species compete for resources, living space, territory, light (in plants) to name a few. In interspecific competition members of the same species compete between themselves for many of the same variables but also sexual mates also (if animals). A good example to use when determining how competition affects the population of a species is the competition between the American Crayfish and the native White Caw Crayfish. Due to competition for resources etc. the native White Claw is becoming extinct. This example of interspecific competition is therefore important as it highlights how competition can affect the population of a species, in this case a rapid decline to near extinction.
