Detailed explanation-1: -Glucose is stored in the form of glycogen in animals.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Glycogen is a polysaccharide of glucose. Animals use glycogen to store energy. It is stored in the liver and the muscles to be used when needed.

Detailed explanation-4: -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). Food is supplied in larger meals, but the blood glucose concentration has to be kept within narrow limits to survive and stay healthy.

Detailed explanation-5: -Energy is stored in the form of glycogen in animals. Excess carbohydrates and proteins get converted into fatty acids and stored in adipose tissues.
