B) Excess cholesterol is excreted into bile to be eliminated in feces.
E) Kupffer cells phagocytize bacteria that may get to the liver.
F) Deamination produces urea, a nitrogenous waste product that will be excreted by the kidneys.
H) Albumin is synthesized and is important to maintain blood volume. 
The liver stores some vitamins and minerals, but not all of the ones listed in option A. The liver does not produce all essential amino acids, as some must be obtained through the diet. Glucagon does not facilitate the storage of glucose as glycogen; rather, it signals the liver to release glucose into the bloodstream. Beta-oxidation is the process by which fatty acids are broken down into acetyl-CoA, not converted to glycerol.
