HUMAN NUTRITION

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: -After meals, glucose is stored as glycogen in the liver. During fasting periods, glucose is released from glycogen (glycogenolysis) becoming available to be used in other tissues. Liver glycogen content falls overnight to its daily minimum value before breakfast.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dietary carbohydrates provide glucose that body cells can use for energy. Excess glucose beyond what the body needs for immediate energy is converted into glycogen, a storage form of carbohydrate, or converted into fat and stored in body fat cells.
