Glyocgen
C
Glucose
D
ATP
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glycogen is a complex carbohydrate that is made by animals and fungi to store energy. Glycogen plays a critical part in the homeostasis of blood glucose levels in humans. Cellulose is the single most common biochemical compound in living things. It forms the cell walls of plants and certain algae.

Detailed explanation-2: -The simplest carbohydrate is glucose. Glucose, also called “blood sugar” and “dextrose, ” flows in the bloodstream so that it is available to every cell in your body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Simple carbohydrates: These carbohydrates are composed of sugars (such as fructose and glucose) which have simple chemical structures composed of only one sugar (monosaccharides) or two sugars (disaccharides).

Detailed explanation-4: -Both simple and complex carbohydrates break down into glucose (aka blood sugar). A simple carb is one that’s comprised of one or two sugar molecules, while a complex carb contains three or more sugar molecules. Fiber, on the other hand, is found in healthy carbs, but isn’t digested or broken down.
