Answer:

The microorganism creates its own energy.

Explanation:

Based on the pattern of nutrition, a living organism can either be autotrophic or heterotrophic. Autotrophic organisms are those organisms capable of synthesizing its own food or energy source using light (photosynthesis) or chemicals (chemosynthesis). Heterotrophs, on the other hand, cannot synthesize their own food, hence, they depend on other organisms for energy.

According to this question, a researcher claims that a newly discovered microorganism is an autotroph. For this claim to be true, this means that the microorganism must be capable of CREATING ITS OWN FOOD/ENERGY either by photosynthesis (light) or chemosynthesis (inorganic chemicals).

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change in the speed of a moving body or vehicle typically.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the branch of mechanics, the aspect of acceleration is considered to be a property of the vector. And acceleration always occurs in a specific positive direction.

The formula for determining acceleration is change in the rate of velocity over a specific time, and is therefore measured as the ratio of delta velocity by delta time unit.

$\text {acceleration}=\frac{\text {velocity}}{\text {time}}=\frac{\left(\frac{\text {distance}}{\text {time}}\right)}{\text {time}}=\frac{\text {distance}}{\text {time}^{2}}\left(\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\right)$

The unit of acceleration is distance per time unit squared or m / second squared.
