Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
what is the storage(s) form of carbohydrate found in mammals?
A
Glucose and glycogen
B
Glycogen
C
starch
D
Fiber and glycogen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glycogen is a multi-branched polymer of glucose that is used to store energy in animals. The polysaccharide structure is the body’s primary glucose storage structure. In both animals and humans, it is predominantly found in muscle and liver cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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-4: -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: -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.
