A polysaccharide of glucose that serve as the energy reservoir found in liver and muscles.
A
Glycolysis
B
Glycogenesis
C
Glycogen
D
Glucagon
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glycogen is a homopolysaccharide found in the liver and muscles of animals, where it is used to store energy. Chemically, glycogen is related to starch and closely resembles amylopectin.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glycogen is the reserve polysaccharide in the body and is mainly comprised of hepatic glycogen. Glycogen is synthesized in the liver and muscles.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycogen is a form of glucose, a main source of energy that your body stores primarily in your liver and muscles.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose is the main source of fuel for our cells. When the body doesn’t need to use the glucose for energy, it stores it in the liver and muscles. This stored form of glucose is made up of many connected glucose molecules and is called glycogen.

Detailed explanation-5: -The polysaccharide which is synthesized and stored in the liver is glycogen. When there is a need of energy in the body, the glycogen is converted into glucose which is released into the blood to be reached to the target cell.
