Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose, or blood sugar, is the main source of energy for your body’s cells, tissues, and organs. Glucose can be used immediately or stored in the liver and muscles for later use.
Detailed explanation-3: -Glucose is mainly made by plants and most algae during photosynthesis from water and carbon dioxide, using energy from sunlight, where it is used to make cellulose in cell walls, the most abundant carbohydrate in the world.
Detailed explanation-4: -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).
