Detailed explanation-1: -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. This stored form of glucose is made up of many connected glucose molecules and is called glycogen.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose is stored in the form of glycogen in animals. The two main site of storage of glycogen is liver and muscles. The excess glucose is linked together as a multibranched polysaccharide to serve for long term energy reserve, Muscle glycogen is kept as an immediate resource of energy as and when required.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycogen is the storage form of carbohydrates in mammals. In humans the majority of glycogen is stored in skeletal muscles (∼500 g) and the liver (∼100 g).

Detailed explanation-4: -Glycogen is a polysaccharide of glucose. Animals use glycogen to store energy. It is stored in the liver and the muscles to be used when needed.

Detailed explanation-5: -Glycogen is a form of glucose, a main source of energy that your body stores primarily in your liver and muscles.
