Answer:

e. It can be released into the blood as glucose.

Explanation:

The function of liver glycogen is to maintain the body's blood glucose between meals. It is the way to store glucose that can be exported anywhere in the body with energy needs and can be transmitted by blood equal to glucose. For example, the brain is an organ that relies solely on glucose for energy to its cells. Since muscle glycogen cannot be exported, it is used in cases of need, for example, intense physical activity, only by muscle fibers.
