glycogen
Glucose that is not used immediately for energy is stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles. If glycogen stores are full, excess glucose can be converted into fat and stored in adipose tissue.
Unused glucose in a plant is stored as starch in various plant parts, such as roots, stems, or leaves. This stored starch can later be converted back to glucose to provide energy for the plant's growth and development.
Glucose in plants is primarily stored as starch in plant cells, particularly in structures such as chloroplasts, roots, stems, and seeds. Starch is a polysaccharide made up of glucose molecules and serves as a long-term energy reserve for the plant.
Unused energy is either stored in the body as glycogen or converted into fat for long-term storage. This process ensures that the body has a reserve of energy to use in times of need.
Unused Sugar/Energy (glucose) is stored in fat cells, which are burnt off when the energy within them is needed.
Carbohydrates, if not used by the body, are stored as fat. Not all carbohydrates are converted to fat. Upon consumption the carbohydrates may be converted to glycogen for fast use by the body.
Food is broken down to the molecular level, so its nutrients can be distributed through the blood stream, and so glucose in the food can be converted to glycogen for storage purposes. To get energy from the food, glucose undergoes a process called cellular respiration, where glucose is broken down in glycolysis to release ATP, NADH, and FADH2. ATP is energy that is ready to be used. NADH and FADH2 go through the Krebs cycle, where some of the energy the carry is converted into ATP. The remaining NADH and FADH2 are transported to the Electron Transport Chain (ETC). In the ETC, oxygen that is inhaled accepts the electrons that they carry and they are converted into ATP. There is still a large amount of energy that is unused, and this energy is released as heat and light to keep your body temperature stable.
Glucose is a type of sugar, it takes a certain amount of energy (calories) to use up that sugar. so you eat 100 calories of glucose then exercise. While exercising you use (burn) 200 calories, you have now burned 100 calories of glucose and 100 calories of fat. any unused glucose is stored in the body as fat.
Unused calories are converted into and stored through out the body as fat. It is a natural response to the feast/famine cycle.
Extra communions are usually supposed to be consumed or stored in a tabernacle.
