Fiber and glycogen

Detailed explanation-1: -In mammals, carbohydrates are stored as glycogen in liver and muscles. Glycogen is a multibranched polysaccharide of glucose that serves as a form of energy storage in animals and fungi. The polysaccharide structure represents the main storage form of glucose in the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Glycogen is the storage form of carbohydrates in mammals. In humans the majority of glycogen is stored in skeletal muscles (∼500 g) and the liver (∼100 g). Food is supplied in larger meals, but the blood glucose concentration has to be kept within narrow limits to survive and stay healthy.
Detailed explanation-3: -Glycogen is a polysaccharide of glucose. Animals use glycogen to store energy. It is stored in the liver and the muscles to be used when needed.
