Detailed explanation-1: -Glycogen is an even more highly branched polysaccharide of glucose monomers that serves the function of energy storage in animals. Glycogen is made and stored primarily in the cells of the liver and muscles.
Detailed explanation-2: -Glycogen is a homopolysaccharide found in the liver and muscles of animals, where it is used to store energy.
Detailed explanation-3: -Glycogen is a glucose polysaccharide occurring in most mammalian and nonmammalian cells, in microorganisms, and even in some plants. It is an important and quickly mobilized source of stored glucose. In vertebrates it is stored mainly in the liver as a reserve of glucose for other tissues.
Detailed explanation-4: -Storage polysaccharides: Polysaccharides such as starch and glycogen are called storage polysaccharides because they are stored in the liver and muscles to be converted to energy later for body functions.
Detailed explanation-5: -Statement 1: Glucose is stored in animals in the form of glycogen. Statement 2: Polysaccharides found in the plant cell wall is starch.
