Question

When blood glucose levels are high and the glucose is not utilized for cellular respiration, the human body will store this glucose in the liver and muscles. In what form is this glucose stored?

A) glycogen
B) maltose
C) starch
D) sucrose

Answer 1

The answer is A; Glycogen. Why? The liver stores glucose in the form of glycogen which is released when it is needed. Also fat can be converted into glucose when needed.

Answer 2

The correct answer is Option A

When the blood glucose level are high and glucose is not utilized for the cellular respiration.

This indicates that the blood glucose level is enough. The left amount of glucose in the blood is then stored in the cells of liver and skeletal muscles.

The 5-6% weight of the liver is its glycogen content. This stored glycogen is then used by the body when the amount of blood glucose level decreases than normal.
