Which carbohydrate do we store in our liver and serves as an energy reserve?
A
Starch
B
Glycogen
C
Glucose
D
Cellulose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glucose (sugar) is your body’s main source of energy. It comes from carbohydrates (a macronutrient) in certain foods and fluids you consume. When your body doesn’t immediately need glucose from the food you eat for energy, it stores glucose primarily in your muscles and liver as glycogen for later use.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glycogen is a main source of energy for the body. Glycogen is stored in the liver. When the body needs more energy, certain proteins called enzymes break down glycogen into glucose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbohydrate metabolism The liver plays a crucial role in this process. If more glucose is absorbed than the body needs at that moment, the excess is turned into a substance called glycogen. This is then taken up by the liver for easier storage.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glycogen, the multibranched polysaccharide of glucose in humans, is how glucose gets stored by the body and mostly found in the liver and skeletal muscle.
