HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -Glycogen is a complex carbohydrate that the body can easily and rapidly convert to energy. Glycogen is stored in the liver and the muscles. Muscles use glycogen for energy during periods of intense exercise. The amount of carbohydrates stored as glycogen can provide almost a day’s worth of calories.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glycogen comes from carbohydrates (a macronutrient), but it’s not technically a carbohydrate. When you eat foods and drink fluids containing carbohydrates, your body digests them and turns them into glucose so it can use the glucose for fuel. Glycogen is the stored form of glucose.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Glycogen is made from several connected glucose molecules and is your body’s primary and preferred source of energy. Glycogen is stored in your liver and muscles and comes from carbohydrates in the foods you eat and drink.
