Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The excessive consumption of carbohydrates is converted into which polysaccharide that is stored in the liver and in muscles?
A
creatinine
B
glycogen
C
hemoglobin
D
uric acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The body breaks down most carbohydrates from the foods we eat and converts them to a type of sugar called glucose. Glucose is the main source of fuel for our cells. When the body doesn’t need to use the glucose for energy, it stores it in the liver and muscles.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dietary Carbohydrates: Excess glucose is made into glycogen, which is stored in the liver and muscles. Aerobic conditioning can increase muscle storage levels five-fold. Dietary carbohydrates eaten in excess are converted into fatty acids and stored in adipose tissue.

Detailed explanation-3: -Metabolism. Dietary carbohydrates provide glucose that body cells can use for energy. Excess glucose beyond what the body needs for immediate energy is converted into glycogen, a storage form of carbohydrate, or converted into fat and stored in body fat cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -The polysaccharide which is synthesized and stored in the liver is glycogen.

Detailed explanation-5: -Glycogen is an even more highly branched polysaccharide of glucose monomers that serves the function of energy storage in animals. Glycogen is made and stored primarily in the cells of the liver and muscles.
