Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Glycogen acts as long-term energy storage. Fats are more efficient in storing energy as compared to glycogen because they store a high amount of energy and are stored in reserve in the body. They are the slowest form of energy but are very efficient and are stored in excess in the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Stored in tissue, one pound (454 grams) of fat holds about 4, 100 calories, which is about 2 days’ worth of energy. A pound of hydrated glycogen holds just 680 calories.
