Detailed explanation-1: -Glycogen is a polysaccharide that serves as a form of stored energy in animals and fungi. Glycogen is made and stored in the cells of liver and muscles that are hydrated with the four parts of water. It acts as the secondary long-term energy storage.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fats (lipids) Fats are the primary long-term energy storage molecules of the body. Fats are very compact and light weight, so they are an efficient way to store excess energy. A fat is made up of a glycerol, which is attached to 1 to 3 fatty acid chains.
Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct answer is ‘Fat’
Detailed explanation-4: -Glycogen is a homopolysaccharide found in the liver and muscles of animals, where it is used to store energy.
Detailed explanation-5: -Fat is the molecule used by most animals for long-term energy storage. Fats and oils function in long-term energy storage. Fats yield 9.3 Kcal/gm, while carbohydrate yield 3.79 Kcal/gm.
