HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -Glucose is the main source of fuel for our cells. 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: -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: -Glucose that is not needed for energy is stored in the form of glycogen as a source of potential energy, readily available when needed. Most glycogen is stored in the liver and in muscle cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glycogen is a main source of energy for the body. Glycogen is stored in the liver. When the body needs more energy, certain proteins called enzymes break down glycogen into glucose.
