Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

____ such as starch and glycogen which are stored in liver and muscles to be converted to energy later for body functions. Starch are found in plants and glycogen in animals.

A	Structural Polysaccharides
B	Storage Polysaccharides
C	Either A or B
D	None of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Amylopectin, glycogen, and amylose are the polysaccharides used for storing sugars in plants and animals.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glycogen is an extensively branched glucose polymer that animals use as an energy reserve. It is the animal analog to starch. Glycogen does not exist in plant tissue. It is highly concentrated in the liver, although skeletal muscles contain the most glycogen by weight.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycogen is the polysaccharide foodstuff reserve in animals, bacteria, and fungi and is also called animal starch. Glycogen is mainly stored inside the liver and muscles.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose is stored as polysaccharide-starch in plants and glycogen in animals.
