Detailed explanation-1: -This stored form of glucose is made up of many connected glucose molecules and is called glycogen. When the body needs a quick boost of energy or when the body isn’t getting glucose from food, glycogen is broken down to release glucose into the bloodstream to be used as fuel for the cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -The body uses glucose to provide most of the energy for the human brain. About half of the energy used by muscles and other body tissues is provided from glucose and glycogen, a storage form of carbohydrate.

Detailed explanation-3: -Insulin helps our cells convert glucose into energy, and it helps our bodies store extra glucose for use later. For example, if you eat a large meal and your body doesn’t need that much glucose right away, insulin will help your body store it to convert to energy later.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sources of complex carbohydrates that will give you long-lasting energy include whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Popcorn, brown rice, wild rice, quinoa, barley, oatmeal, bulgur and buckwheat are examples of whole grains. Starchy vegetables include corn, potatoes, peas and dried beans.
