Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Glycogen is the storage form of carbohydrates in mammals. In humans the majority of glycogen is stored in skeletal muscles (∼500 g) and the liver (∼100 g).
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.
