Feedback:
After energy needs are met, excess glucose can be converted to glycogen, be used to make nonessential amino acids and specific body compounds, or converted to fat and stored. Essential amino acids need to be a part of a diet but are not manufactured by the body. Glucose cannot be converted into muscle. Glucose can be stored as glycogen, not glucagon.
