Explain how the body gets rid of glucose.

During absorption and digestion, the carbohydrates in the food you eat are reduced to their simplest form, glucose. Excess glucose is then removed from the blood, with the majority of it being converted into glycoge, the storage form of glucose, by the liver's hepatic cells via a process called glycogenesis.

Glucose cannot cross cell membranes without using transport proteins and insulin is required to facilitate the removal of gluecose from the blood steam so that it enters cells
