Question
in which part of the body is glycogen stored?
liver
blood
pancreas
exoskeleton
Glycogen is a polysaccharide (complex carbohydrate) that serves as the storage form of glucose in animals. The liver and muscles are the primary storage sites for glycogen in the human body. The liver stores glycogen to maintain blood glucose levels during fasting or periods of low food intake. Muscles store glycogen for their own energy needs during muscle contraction. Blood contains glucose (not glycogen) as the circulating form of sugar. The pancreas is an organ involved in producing hormones (like insulin and glucagon) that regulate blood glucose levels and digestive enzymes. An exoskeleton is a feature of some invertebrates (like insects) and is not related to glycogen storage in the human body.
