BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Glycogen is the polysaccharide that acts as the primary unit of glucose storage in animal cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glycogen is the storage form of glucose (energy) in animals.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycogen: This polysaccharide is the polysaccharide found in animals to store energy and is composed of alpha-1, 4-glycosidic bonds with branched alpha-1, 6 bonds present at about every tenth monomer. It is mainly produced by the liver and muscles, but it can also be made during a process called glycogenesis.

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: -One of the best known polysaccharides is starch, the main form of energy storage in plants. Glycogen is an even more highly branched polysaccharide of glucose monomers that serves the function of storing energy in animals.
