Vedclass · Answer

(D) The process of converting glucose into glycogen in the liver is known as glycogenesis.This process is regulated by the hormone insulin,which is secreted by the beta cells of the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas.Insulin promotes the uptake of glucose by liver cells (hepatocytes) and stimulates its conversion into glycogen for storage.Therefore,the pancreas is the gland responsible for this regulation.
