Question
Short note on: Glycogen
✓
Answer
→"The carbohydrates are stored in animal body as glycogen."
→It is also known as animal starch because its structure is similar to amylopectin and is rather more highly branched.
→It is present in liver, muscles and brain.
→When the body needs glucose, enzymes break down glycogen into glucose.
