Glycogen first. 150 grams in Liver and 150 grams in muscles, aproximately. Then to Fat. Which is stored in body. Body has a very large resevre of Fat and as on today, obesity is one of the major problem for billions of people.

What type of energy conversion carries out Retina cells in the eye the Cochlear cells in the ear and the Taste buds on the tongue?
Retina cells in the eyes are converted to light energy. The taste buds on the tongue is converted to chemical energy.
What are the most abundant elements found in cells?
the most abundant chemical in cells is water.
Cells convert the energy from gluecose into?
Glucose is also converted to energy in muscle cells. When it comes to producing energy from glucose, muscle cells are, well, double-jointed
Why are monosaccharides important to cells?
They are converted to ATP through the glycolytic cycle
What polysaccharide is stored in the liver when excess glucose is in the bloodstream?
Glucose has many fates in the human body depending on whether the body is in a fasted or fed state. It is important to note that glucose is the main and primary compound used by all cells to produce energy. Some cells, namely nervous tissue and mature red blood cells use ONLY glucose to provide energy. If a meal with excessive carbohydrates is consumed, after digestion the excess glucose is first converted into a storage carbohydrate called glycogen. Glycogen is stored in skeletal muscles and liver cells. In muscles it serves as a ready store of energy for muscle contractions and in liver cells it can be readily reconverted into glucose and used in periods of fasting (during sleep or between meals to provide and sustain energy). However, if there is excessive glucose in the body and the muscle and liver tissues have made its maximal amount of glycogen, the excess glucose is converted to FAT! Fat (namely triacylglycerol) is made of two compounds: fatty acids and glycerol - both which can be synthesized from glucose breakdown. NOTE: Fatty acids, a main component of triacylglycerol are made from a compound called acetyl CoA. Under normal circumstances glucose is converted to acetyl CoA, but it enters a pathway in cells called the Krebs Cycle where it is degraded to produce energy. However, when there is excessive glucose and the body has already made its fill of glycogen, glucose is broken down to acetyl coA in the liver where it goes to produce fatty acids and subsequently fat! Exactly how is this done? For the biochemists out there: Malonly CoA is the direct precursor for fatty acid synthesis. Acetyl coA is converted to malonly coA via the enzyme acetyl coA carboxylase - this is the committed step in fatty acid synthesis. This enzyme is activated by high amounts of citrate, a by product of the Krebs Cycle. So an excessive amounts of glucose after maxed out glycogen production = high acetyl coA + high citrate. High citrate activates acetyl coA carboxylase which commits acetyl coA to fat production via synthesis of malonyl coA.
