Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Glycogen, the multibranched polysaccharide of glucose in humans, is how glucose gets stored by the body and mostly found in the liver and skeletal muscle. Try to think of glycogen as the body’s short-term storage of glucose (while triglycerides in adipose tissues serve as the long-term storage).
Detailed explanation-2: -In humans, glycogen is made and stored primarily in the cells of the liver and skeletal muscle. In the liver, glycogen can make up 5–6% of the organ’s fresh weight: the liver of an adult, weighing 1.5 kg, can store roughly 100–120 grams of glycogen.
