I kno that for number 74 glucose storage is wrong but at the same time in Exam krackers it says that destruction of red blood cells occurs in the spleen. Could this be a mistake or am i missing something here?

The aging erythrocyte undergoes changes in its plasma membrane, making it susceptible to recognition by phagocytes and subsequent phagocytosis in the spleen, liver and bone marrow.

It occurs in the liver and the spleen 👍

This too

Breakdown of RBC's
Old damaged RBC's are removed from the circulation in the following ways:
1. 90% are removed from the circulation by the phagocytic activities of macrophages in the liver, spleen and lymph nodes.
2. 10% of the old cells hemolyze in the circulation. The fragments of these cells are then engulfed by macrophages
