BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Glycogen is a main source of energy for the body. Glycogen is stored in the liver. When the body needs more energy, certain proteins called enzymes break down glycogen into glucose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycogen particles are distributed within the muscle cell to support the local energy needs of the cell during exercise (see Figure 2). Intermyofibrillar glycogen particles constitute roughly 75% of total muscle glycogen and are conveniently located adjacent to the sarcoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glycogen is a multibranched polysaccharide that is the stored form of glucose in the body. It is mainly synthesized in the liver and muscle cells. Glycogen is a readily available form of glucose and can provide rapid energy when needed. It also plays a role in maintaining our blood glucose concentration.
