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: -Carbohydrate can be stored as glycogen mainly in skeletal muscles or the liver; fat is manly stores as triacylglycerol in adipose tissue. With filled glycogen stores, glucose can be the substrate for de novo lipid synthesis and stored in adipocytes, muscles, or the liver and cause insulin resistance.
Detailed explanation-3: -The human body uses carbohydrates in the form of glucose. Glucose is stored in the liver and muscles as glycogen.
Detailed explanation-4: -In vertebrates it is stored mainly in the liver as a reserve of glucose for other tissues. In hepatocyte cells it is accumulated and mobilized according to blood glucose availability and to extrahepatic cells. Glycogen is also stored in muscles and fat cells.
Detailed explanation-5: -Complete answer: Carbohydrates are produced as monosaccharides (glucose or fructose) within the process of photosynthesis. Glucose is stored as polysaccharide, which are starch in plants and glycogen in animals.
