Glycogen synthesis, glycogenesis, is one of the most important anabolic pathways. Insulin drives the synthesis of glycogen from glucose. Glycogen is stored in the liver which is then turned back to glucose by glucagon during excercises and fasting.
Hope this helps!!
Glycogen is a polysaccharide which is made up of many monosaccharides which is many glucoses. It is a polysaccharide that is stored in animals.
Animals store excess glucose in their liver as a large compound called glycogen. Plants store extra glucose in their starch.
Glycogen is the form in which animals and humans store glucose. Plants on the other hand store their glucose as starch.

It is stored in the form of glycogen.
Starch No, Starch is how plants store glucose. The human body stores glucose as glycogen.
Carbohydrates are absorbed and converted into glucose. The glucose can be stored as glycogen in the liver and the muscle tissue. If these are full the glucose will be converted into fat and stored.

Glycogen is a storage of energy within the body, and glucose is the primary form of energy
Glycogen is a storage of energy within the body, and glucose is the primary form of energy. So for example, if your body requires glucose to survive, when it has plentiful amounts. Your body converts glucose into glycogen for storage. However, if your body has low amount of glucose within it. Your body will rely on the storage of glycogen to break down into its components and use the glucose for fuel.
Glucose is stored in the body as glycogen. Excess glucose in circulation is normally polymerized within the liver and muscles as glycogen, which is hydrolyzed to glucose as needed.
