Detailed explanation-1: -Glycogen is an even more highly branched polysaccharide of glucose monomers that serves the function of storing energy in animals.
Detailed explanation-2: -Storage polysaccharides: Polysaccharides such as starch and glycogen are called storage polysaccharides because they are stored in the liver and muscles to be converted to energy later for body functions. Starch is found in plants whereas glycogen is found in animals.
Detailed explanation-3: -They store energy in organisms. Due to the presence of multiple hydrogen bonds, the water cannot invade the molecules making them hydrophobic. They allow for changes in the concentration gradient which influences the uptake of nutrients and water by the cells. More items •24-Dec-2020
