Question

Which of the following statements is TRUE about competition between organisms with the same needs when resources are limited?

Answer 1

Answer:

animals are the only organisms that compete for resources

Explanation:

this is due to the fact that plants take up resources passively, a method which doesn't require them to waste any energy, however in the case of resources, is not very effective. suppose there was a bit of water scarcity in your area, and a plant and you both need water for survival. obviously, the plant cant possibly do anything to receive these resources, as it is just a plant. its survival is based merely on the chance that you pour water into it. this is not the case for animals, which, like us, actively collect and gather resources, and use them to our advantage.  therefore, animals are the only animals that compete for resources
