Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glycogen is a polysaccharide composed of glucose units and serves as a storage form of glucose in animals, including humans. It helps in the regulation of blood glucose levels by releasing glucose when needed. Glycogen is mainly stored within the liver and skeletal muscle. However, it is not an alcohol to which three fatty acids attach to form a triglyceride. That is the structure of a typical fat molecule (lipid).
