Answer:

Liver

Glucose storage as glycogen

Step-by-step explanation:

Glycogen is mainly stored in the liver (where it makes up as much as 10% of liver weight and can be released back into the blood stream) and muscle (where it can be converted back to glucose but only used by the muscle). Therefore, excess glucose is removed from the blood stream and stored.
