Detailed explanation-4: -Macromolecules : Example Question #7 Explanation: Both lipids (fat) and glycogen (made up of glucose molecules) store energy in animals. Lipids are used for long-term energy storage while glycogen, found in the liver and muscles, is used for short-term energy storage.
Detailed explanation-5: -Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in humans and other vertebrates, and is made up of monomers of glucose.
