How does glucose work in the liver?

Answer 1

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).

Answer 2

The liver acts as the body's glucose reservoir. The liver stores glucose as glycogen, based on what your body needs. When you are eating, your liver stores glucose (as glycogen) for when your body needs it. When you are not eating, the liver supplies glycogen to the body. The glycogen breaks down to glucose so the cells can use it.

Answer 3

It isn't the liver that converts glucose to glycogen but the islets of langerhans aka pancreas. in the pancreas you have alpha and beta cells. the beta cells secrete insulin which acts on the glucose in the body to form glycogen.
