Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both statements are false.Although glycogen is the carbohydrate storage form of energy for humans,it is not known as cellulose.Cellulose,also a polysaccharide,is a starch.Glucose,the preferred carbohydrate for energy,is frequently consumed in excess of immediate needs.Excess glucose is converted to relatively small stores of glycogen in the muscles and liver.Once glycogen stores are full,excess glucose is converted to fat and adipose tissue.
