Question

Glucose in excess of the body's immediate needs is usually converted to protein.

Glucose in excess of the body's immediate needs is not converted to protein. Instead, it is either stored in the liver and muscles as glycogen or converted to fat and stored in adipose tissue. The process of converting glucose to protein is not energetically efficient and is only done when there is a need for protein synthesis in the body.
