Detailed explanation-1: -Livers stores excess of glucose in the form of glycogen. The excess glucose is converted into glycogen in the liver by the process of glycogenesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -After a meal, glucose enters the liver and levels of blood glucose rise. This excess glucose is dealt with by glycogenesis in which the liver converts glucose into glycogen for storage.

Detailed explanation-3: -When the body doesn’t need to use the glucose for energy, it stores it in the liver and muscles. This stored form of glucose is made up of many connected glucose molecules and is called glycogen.

Detailed explanation-4: -besides production and secretion of bile, liver is also involved in the conversion of glucose into glycogen. Glycogen is stored in the liver to be used when required.

Detailed explanation-5: -When your body doesn’t immediately need glucose from the food you eat for energy, it stores glucose primarily in your muscles and liver as glycogen for later use. Your body creates glycogen from glucose through a process called glycogenesis.
