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).
In my science classes, it was called a producer and or a keystone species
Lights in a big city or even a small town create light pollution, which makes it really hard to see the stars at night. If you put a telescope on a mountain far away, there would be a lot less light pollution. The sky would be much clearer and you could see many more stars
