Which hormone release causes the body to store excess glucose as fat? Select one:

a. Insulin

b. Glucagon

c. Thyroid hormone

d. Cortisol?

The answer is Insulin.

Insulin allows cells in the muscles, liver and fat (adipose tissue) to take up this glucose and use it as a source of energy so they can function properly. Without insulin, cells are unable to use glucose as fuel and they will start malfunctioning.
