Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
what is the storage(s) form of carbohydrate found in mammals?
A
Glucose and glycogen
B
Glycogen
C
starch
D
Fiber and glycogen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glycogen is the storage form of carbohydrates in mammals. In humans, most of the glycogen is stored in skeletal muscles and the liver.

Detailed explanation-2: -Animals do not store energy as starch. Instead, animals store the extra energy as the complex carbohydrate glycogen. Glycogen is a polysaccharide of glucose. It serves as a form of energy storage in fungi as well as animals and is the main storage form of glucose in the human body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycogen is a homopolysaccharide found in the liver and muscles of animals, where it is used to store energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -In mammals, carbohydrates are stored as glycogen in liver and muscles. Glycogen is a multibranched polysaccharide of glucose that serves as a form of energy storage in animals and fungi. The polysaccharide structure represents the main storage form of glucose in the body.

Detailed explanation-5: -Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in animals and humans which is analogous to the starch in plants.
