The liver stores glycogen. When the body uses it for energy it converts the glycogen to glucose.
The liver works by producing bile and removing toxins from the blood. It converts glycose into glycogen and even keeps your body core temperature at 27 degrees celsius. It works with the stomach, gallbladder, and small intestines. If your liver fails, toxins build up in your blood stream and you almost certainly die (without a transplant of course).
The liver stores glucose as glycogen and glucose is required for respiration
The liver stores glucose in the form of glycogen which is converted back to glucose again when needed for energy.
I believe its glycogen found in liver and muscles which is made of glucose to give us energy
Glycogen is the form in which animals and humans store glucose. Plants on the other hand store their glucose as starch.
If your body does not have any use for the glucose, it is converted into glycogen and stored it in the liver and muscles as an energy reserve. Your body can store about a half a day's supply of glycogen. If your body has more glucose than it can use as energy, or convert to glycogen for storage, the excess is converted to fat.
The liver and skeletal muscle store glucose as glycogen. The liver can make glucose from proteins and release it from glycogen to help keep blood glucose at a normal level when we are fasting.
IntestinesCORRECTION:Muscles contain the most glycogen-- the storage form of glucose-- in the body. The liver comes next.
Starch No, Starch is how plants store glucose. The human body stores glucose as glycogen.
Glycogen, a branched molecule with many glucose units.
Glucose. Glycogen is a bunch of glucose molecules strung together in branched chains, unlike starch, which is glucose in long, straight chains. The liver, using Glucagon, a hormone, stores glucose for release later. Glucagon is one of the two main hormones used to control blood sugar.
