Where are glycogen granules located?
Glycogen is the long-term energy storage for animals and most of an animals energy is exerted through motility or muscle movement so it would only make sense for glycogen to be broken down (through hydrolosis) where it was most needed; in the muscles.
What is the function of glycogen granules in animal cell?
Glycogen granules form an energy or food store in mammalian cells. When needed, the glycogen can be broken down (hydrolysed) into glucose, which is used in respiration as a source of energy for the cell. For some background see: http://www.sciencedaily.com/articles/g/glycogen.htm
