Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glycogen is a polysaccharide that serves as the common storage form of energy in liver and muscle cells. It is made up of many glucose molecules linked together in a branched chain. When the body needs energy, glycogen can be broken down into glucose and used as fuel. Fructose is a monosaccharide, fat is not a polysaccharide, starch is a storage form of energy in plants, and glycerol is a component of fats.
