Question

how is glycogen typically stored in the body?
a. in the liver and adipose tissue
b. in the muscles and nervous system
c. in the liver and muscles
d. in the adipose tissue and muscles

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Glycogen is a polysaccharide that serves as a form of energy storage in animals. The liver stores glycogen to maintain blood glucose levels, especially during fasting. Muscles store glycogen to use it as an energy source for muscle contraction during physical activity. Adipose tissue stores fat (triglycerides) rather than glycogen. The nervous system primarily uses glucose as an energy source and does not store significant amounts of glycogen.

Answer:

C. In the liver and muscles
