The principal storage form of carbohydrates in the mammalian body
A
Starch
B
Glucose
C
Glycogen
D
Fructose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glycogen is the storage form of carbohydrates in mammals. In humans, most of the glycogen is stored in skeletal muscles and the liver.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glycogen (storage form of carbohydrate in the body), composed of many glucose molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycogen is the storage form of carbohydrates in mammals. In humans the majority of glycogen is stored in skeletal muscles (∼500 g) and the liver (∼100 g).

Detailed explanation-4: -Energy Production from Carbohydrates (Cellular Respiration ) Excess carbohydrates are stored as starch in plants and as glycogen in animals, ready for metabolism if the energy demands of the organism suddenly increase.

Detailed explanation-5: -In mammals, carbohydrates are stored as glycogen in liver and muscles. Glycogen is a multibranched polysaccharide of glucose that serves as a form of energy storage in animals and fungi. The polysaccharide structure represents the main storage form of glucose in the body.
