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).

<span>It is process through which plants and other photoautotrophs generate carbohydrate and oxygen from carbon dioxide, water and light energy in chloroplast. It is two stage reaction- 1.Light dependent reaction- in this sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll and converted into chemical energy and stored in the form of NADPH and ATP. It takes place in thylakoid membrane in chloroplast. 2.Light Independent Reaction- in this energized electrons from the light dependent reaction provides the energy to form carbohydrate from carbon dioxide molecules. It is known as Calvin cycle.</span>
