Glucose and metabolism is crucial to the body.

Glycogen

Explanation: When we intake food which is a source of carbohydrate to the body, then it is broken down into glucose molecules to be used as a source of energy.

The energy is obtained from the glucose molecules present in the bloodstream. The extra glucose gets stored in the muscle in the form of glycogen.

When there is a fasting condition or low glucose in the blood stream,  then the stored glycogen is converted into glucose to provide energy to the body.

Hence, Glucose and Glycogen metabolism is important for the body.

enhanced global partnerships and exploration capabilities may advance international preparedness for protecting the earth from catastrophic events such as some asteroid strikes, advancing collaborative research on space weather and protecting spacecraft by developing new means for space debris removal.
