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).

Continuously facing towards the east also helps the flowers to heat up quickly. This gives them an advantage in pollination, as warm flowers attract insects. Therefore, in the plant's interest, the flower always faces the sun and is therefore always clearly visible to these important pollinators.

Draw the indicated parts of a karyotype of a child born with Down syndrome and respond to
loris [4]

The karyotype of a child born with Down syndrome includes a trisomy in chromosome number 21. The rest of the karyotype remains normal.

<h3>What is a karyotype?</h3>

A karyotype is a representation to indicate the chromosomes of a somatic cell in an individual.

In humans, somatic cells are diploids, thereby karyotypes will be formed by two sets of homo-logous chromosomes.

Down syndrome is caused by the presence of an additional chromosome number 21, and therefore the karyotype will exhibit three (trisomy) 21 chromosomes.
