Glucose is not stored in the body. Why?

Glucose is not stored in body as such because: 1. free glucose in cells does not last very long. 2. it is phosphorylated to G6P so that it cannot leave the cells via the GLUT channel before moving through glycolysis, thereby utilising it. 3. read more

The glucose is the central molecule of metabolism. That play a major role in metabolism the excess amount of glucose stored in the body in the form of glycogen. For Future utilization because the body alwase want to regular supplies of energy. Then the glucose stored in the body in the form of glycogen. But in plant it is called starch. read more

However it is not the preferred form of energy storage : the energy is stored in triglycerides (=fats). A theory that explains this is that : Glycogen is hydrophilic : it is very hydrated so it takes a lot of room Triglycerides are lipophilic : it takes less room for equivalent energy Therefore, glycogen storage are limited. read more
