Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Answer and Explanation: Animals store glucose in the form of glycogen. Glycogen is a polysaccharide stored mainly in the liver and skeletal muscles. The amount of glycogen stored is hormonally regulated.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
