Detailed explanation-1: -Glycogen: The food is stored in the form of Glycogen in the animal body. When the amount of glucose is high in the blood, it is converted into glycogen by the hormone insulin. It is a polysaccharide of glucose that serves as a primary storage form of glucose in the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Glycogen is a homopolysaccharide found in the liver and muscles of animals, where it is used to store energy.
Detailed explanation-3: -Animals store food in the form of glycogen whereas plants store food material in the form of starch. Digestive processes in both plants and animals convert starch to glucose which is an ultimate source of energy. Starch is one of the major and essential components of human diet.
Detailed explanation-4: -Statement 1: Glucose is stored in animals in the form of glycogen. Statement 2: Polysaccharides found in the plant cell wall is starch.
Detailed explanation-5: -Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in animals and humans. Glycogen is synthesized and stored mainly in the liver and the muscles. Therefore, this is the correct option.
