Liver is the organ that manufactures and stores most of the body's glycogen as a ready source of glucose.The process of formation of glycogen is called glycogenesis, which is the primary carbohydrate stored in the liver and muscle cells of animals. It is formed from glucose under stimulation by insulin hormone, and takes place when the blood glucose levels are sufficiently high to allow excess glucose to be stored in liver and muscle cells.

Answer:

Explanation:

The picture shown is the cell membrane made of a phospholipid bilayer and proteins embedded. The phospholipid bilayer is made up of hydrophilic (attracted to water) phosphate heads (D), and hydrophobic (repelled by water) tails (E)

The hydrophobic tails face in the way towards each other, while the heads point outwards towards the cell/extracellular environment.

This is because the hydrophobic tails form a conformation that minimizes their contact with water. So you are least likely to find water at E
