the sugars, not just glucose, all get phosphorylated (fructose and galactose)... so you are right, zwobble;
in relation to the other question... I am talking about the GLUTs and insulin and their role in the uptake of glucose... the liver has its' own receptors for glucose; Glut2 is for pancreas but usually for stimulation to release insulin and inhibit the alpha cells to release glucagon, NOT necessarily for the uptake; whereas the adipose and muscle tissues need Glut4 and insulin to help in the uptake of glucose; BUT if this question is asked in the exam... choose adipose tissue (BEST) then choose muscle, why? Muscle has anaerobic glycolysis to make glucose...
Hope that this better explain the question and answer, and I apologize for the confusion...
