Detailed explanation-1: -Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in animals and humans which is analogous to the starch in plants. Glycogen is synthesized and stored mainly in the liver and the muscles.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glycogen is an extensively branched glucose polymer that animals use as an energy reserve. It is the animal analog to 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: -(d) Glycogen is a polymer of −D glucose stored in the liver, brain, and muscles of animals, also known as animal starch.

Detailed explanation-5: -Glycogen is a branched polymer of d-glucose that serves as a store of energy and carbon in vertebrates, and is found largely in the liver and skeletal muscle. It possesses considerable structural similarity to amylopectin but is more highly branched, and is sometimes referred to as animal starch.
