What is the advantage of storing energy as glycogen rather than as lipids?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Storing energy as glycogen allows for rapid mobilization because it can be quickly converted into glucose for energy. Lipids, however, require more energy to break down and are stored in adipose tissue which can limit physical functions of a cell. While lipids do contain more energy per unit mass, for a cell needing to quickly access energy glycogen is the better choice. Therefore, option C is the correct answer. Option D is incorrect as it includes option A, which is not a valid advantage of storing energy as glycogen.
