Explain how you would expect glycogen levels in the liver to change after a meal, and why it would change in that way.

Glycogen levels are expected to increase in the liver after a meal. This is due to the digestion of the meal leading to an increase in blood sugar levels, triggering insulin release from the pancreas. Insulin is a hormone which stimulates the conversion of glucose into glycogen, and glycogen is stored in the liver.
