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.

Which statement about vacuoles is true?
Mila [183]

Vacuoles are storage organelles that are found in both animal and plant cells. They store food or any other forms of nutrients, they also store waste products so as to protect the contamination of the cell environment. These waste products are sent out of the cell via vacuoles. In plants the vacuoles are larger than in animals. The vacuole provides plant nourishment in the scarcity of water in the external environment hence, prevents the wilting of plants.
