multiple choice
muscle tissue
the liver
the pancreas
brain cells
Once absorbed, the majority of glucose is transported to the liver. The liver plays a crucial role in regulating blood - glucose levels by storing glucose as glycogen or releasing it back into the bloodstream as needed. Muscle tissue also takes up glucose, but not the majority. The pancreas is involved in producing insulin and glucagon to regulate glucose metabolism rather than being the main destination for absorbed glucose. Brain cells do use glucose for energy but do not receive the majority of absorbed glucose.
