Yes, competition is a fundamental aspect of market mechanisms. It drives efficiency, innovation, and better prices for consumers by encouraging businesses to improve their products and services. In a competitive market, firms strive to meet consumer demands, leading to a dynamic environment where resources are allocated more effectively. Without competition, market mechanics can lead to monopolies and inefficiencies.
No, that statement is not true. One of the four conditions for perfect competition is a large number of buyers and sellers, not a few. This ensures that no single buyer or seller can influence the market price, leading to a competitive environment where goods are sold at market equilibrium. Other conditions include homogenous products, free entry and exit of firms, and perfect information.
A monopoly is a market which has only one firm, the firm has market power, and there are barriers to entry. The long run profits for a monopolist may be greater than zero. Monopolistic competition is more closely related to perfect competition than monopoly. In monopolistic competition, there are many firms in the market. However, each firm has product differentiation. An example of monopolistic competition would be the jeans industry. There are many different types/quality of jeans e.g. True Religion, Levi's and Lee's. Products are somewhat differentiated, but, as in perfect competition, the long run profit = 0. Oligopoly is a market in which there are only a few firms, each firm has market power, and there is much product differentiation between the firms. The long-run profit of oligopoly can be greater than zero, because there are barriers to entry in the market.
There are a lot more than four conditions, but "homogeneous" products (there's no such thing as identical products) are one of the ways you tell if a market is operating under perfect competition.

Competition can drive innovation and improvement in products and services, leading to better options for consumers. It can also provide motivation for businesses to operate efficiently and strive to differentiate themselves in the market. Additionally, competition can help prevent monopolies and promote fair market practices.

True - When there is no competition in a marketplace (a monopoly), this company can control that entire market and raise the price as much as they want. When multiple companies are competing for the market, they need to stay below the competitors prices to sell product.
