Solution

The correct option is B Glycogen
  • Insulin helps control blood glucose levels by signalling the liver and muscle and fat cells to take in glucose from the blood.
  • Insulin, therefore, helps cells to take in glucose to be used for energy.
  • If the body has sufficient energy, insulin signals the liver to take up glucose and store it as glycogen. Hence, Insulin converts glucose to Glycogen.
So, the correct answer is 'Glycogen'.
