In which form is glucose stored in animal cells?
A
glucagon
B
glucose
C
starch
D
glycogen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Likewise, glycogen is a glucose polymer that is stored by animal cells for energy. Animals store glucose in the form of glycogen.

Detailed explanation-2: -Statement 1: Glucose is stored in animals in the form of glycogen. Statement 2: Polysaccharides found in the plant cell wall is starch.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Glycogen is an extensively branched glucose polymer that animals use as an energy reserve. It is the animal analog to starch. Glycogen does not exist in plant tissue. It is highly concentrated in the liver, although skeletal muscles contain the most glycogen by weight.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plants store their excess glucose in the form of starch. Glucose is stored in the form of glycogen in humans and animals. Starch and glycogen are examples of storage polysaccharides whereas chitin and cellulose are examples of structural polysaccharides.
