7 0

Biomolecules are organic compounds that are present as essential components of living things. There are four major biomolecules namely lipids, proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids. Proteins, lipids and glucose are usually used by organisms as energy sources as well as structural components among other functions in living organisms. Nucleic acids are important components that bring about heredity. In this case the appropriate molecule to be chosen by the long distance learner would be carbohydrate because it stores and may be used as a source of energy.

After the depletion of hepatic glycogen in newborns, which compounds can be used as precursors to sustain the blood glucose leve

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Nutrients from breast milk.

Explanation:

Healthy newborns make blood glucose from sugar and several nutrients from the colostrum, a type of liquid that mother’s breasts produce before breast milk itself. Later, the babies make glucose from mature breast milk.

Most healthy babies, born after 37 weeks of gestation do not risk hepatic glycogen drops. They can easily compensate for normal drops in blood sugar, in other words, whenever the baby is breastfed when needed, he/she will be able to keep his/her glucose levels stable.

Electromagnetic wave is also called transverse waves. In transverse or electromagnetic wave, movement of oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
