True.


Why beta glucose is more stable than alpha?

They form different disaccharides due to there molecular structures. Alpha forms Maltose with a 1-4 glycosidic bond between each alpha glucose and another, and Beta forms the disaccharide Cellobiose with a 1-4 glycosidic bond between each beta glucose and another.

How does glucose work in the liver?

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).
