Sugers The body stores its energy in the simplest molecules derived from the consumed food. Carbohydrates are broken down into their simple form, glucose. The glucose is released into the blood stream where it can be converted immediately to energy in the cells where it is needed through a multi-step process known as glycolysis. Extra glucose that isn't needed is converted to glycogen and stored in the liver and muscle tissues. When blood glucose levels drop below the optimal level (as glucose is used up), the liver converts the glycogen back to glucose and releases it into the blood stream.
