Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Complete answer:-Glycogen is stored in the cells of the liver and muscles, where it is converted into energy for metabolism and physical activities of the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glycogen is a ubiquitous fuel source stored in the cytosol of cells, occupying 2% of the volume of cardiac cells, 10 1%–2% of the volume of skeletal muscle cells, and 5%–6% of the volume of liver cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Where is glycogen stored? Your body mainly stores glycogen in your liver and skeletal muscles (the muscles attached to your bones and tendons), with small amounts in your brain.
