Question

the form of carbohydrate our bodies use to store reserve energy is ______
multiple choice
○ starches
○ disaccharides
○ glucose
○ glycogen

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Starches: Mainly plant - stored carbohydrates, not the form our bodies use for reserve energy storage.
• Disaccharides: These are simple sugars (like sucrose) and are used for immediate energy or as a transport form, not for reserve storage.
• Glucose: It is the primary source of immediate energy, not for long - term reserve storage.
• Glycogen: Our body (specifically the liver and muscles) stores excess glucose in the form of glycogen as a reserve energy source. When energy is needed, glycogen can be broken down back into glucose.

Answer:

D. glycogen
