A polysaccharide that is synthesized and stored within the human liver
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.
In a substance called glycogen, found in your muscles. Also, in fat cells called lipocytes. The body generally burns off energy preferentially from fat cells , then glycogen. But, if you are totally depleted of energy stores, the human body can start actually converting protein, which means that in extreme cases you can start losing muscle.
Distribution of carbohydrates in the human body is provision of energy to cells to facilitate all body processes. Carbohydrates are distributed in the form of glucose and when they are not used, they are stored as glycogen or fat.
Yes and so do human cells
Glycogen is stored in the cytosol of every cell, bound to water. The main store of glycogen in the human body is the liver. It is also stored, bound to water, in muscle cells where it provides a source of rapid energy during exercise.Glygcogen is a storage form for glucose which is found in the liver where it is formed from a glucose and from noncarbohydrate sources, such as amino acids and the glycerol portion of fats via gluconeogenesis. Another, and major glycogen store in terms of mass, is within skeletal muscles, where glycogen is stored so that there is a ready source of glucose for activity.
In the human body, glucose is stored in the cells. The function of the stored glucose is the secondary energy storage. The primary energy is stored in the adipose tissue.
Glucose is stored in the body as glycogen. It is stored in the liver and in muscle tissue until it is needed, then the hormone glucagon - 'turns-the-sugar-on'- and releases the glycogen as glucose into the bloodstream.

Starch isn't found in human cells. Glycogen is found in animal cells.
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.

the pancreas secretes the hormone glucagon, pancreas as being the receptor in this case it detects the low blood sugar in the blood and thus secrets the hormone which increases the permeability of liver cells to glycogen, the metabolic reactions become faster, the coversion of stored glycogen to glucose becomes faster the blood enriched with glucose is transported to around the body wherever needed as if exercise going on then glucose to the muscles. If in case body needs stored glycogen for a flight/fight reaction then the hormone adreanaline is re;eased which does the same work but quite in an instant.
Yes and so do human cells
