Detailed explanation-1: -Glycogen, the primary storage form of glucose, is a rapid and accessible form of energy that can be supplied to tissues on demand. Each glycogen granule, or “glycosome, ‘’ is considered an independent metabolic unit composed of a highly branched polysaccharide and various proteins involved in its metabolism.
Detailed explanation-2: -Glycogen is composed of a branched chain of glucose residues. It is stored in liver and muscles. It is an energy reserve for animals.
Detailed explanation-3: -After a meal, glucose enters the liver and levels of blood glucose rise. This excess glucose is dealt with by glycogenesis in which the liver converts glucose into glycogen for storage. The glucose that is not stored is used to produce energy by a process called glycolysis. This occurs in every cell in the body.
