Glycogen is mainly stored in which organs of the human body?

Correct answer: (c) Liver and muscles

Explanation

Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in animals, a branched polysaccharide. It is stored mainly in the liver and the skeletal muscles:

• liver glycogen is broken down to keep the blood glucose level steady between meals;
• muscle glycogen is used by the muscle itself as fuel during exercise.

Plants store their carbohydrate as starch instead.
