What is glycogen?
Correct!
Glycogen is a carbohydrate made of many glucose units and serves as a short-term energy store in humans and animals. It is stored mainly in the liver and muscles. When energy is needed or glucose is required, glycogen can be broken down again. Plants, by contrast, mainly use starch as their glucose storage form.
