Detailed explanation-1: -In animal cells, glucose is generally stored in the form of glycogen. This is done to not upset the osmotic balances in the cell. Glucose molecules are soluble in water and thus can cause the cell to become hypertonic. This will result in the entry of water molecules within the cells and cause it to lyse.
Detailed explanation-2: -Glycogen is the body’s stored form of glucose, which is sugar. Glycogen is made from several connected glucose molecules and is your body’s primary and preferred source of energy. Glycogen is stored in your liver and muscles and comes from carbohydrates in the foods you eat and drink.
Detailed explanation-3: -Glycogen is the stored form of glucose that’s made up of many connected glucose molecules. Glucose (sugar) is your body’s main source of energy.
