Want this question answered?
Glycogen is a stored sugar that is made available as the first energy source while exercising. It lasts for about 20 minutes. Then the body uses other sources of metabolism for energy. Glycogen is stored in the liver.
it is a form of carbohydrates which is stored in the liver.it releases energy when the body needs it
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.
It is stored in the liver as glycogen. It is converted into glycogen by insulin.
The most common polysaccharide stored in animal body is glycogen . It is mostly stored in the liver and is converted into glucose when the body requires it .

To get energy from stored glycogen (in the liver), the body must first convert the glycogen into ATP. -JoshuaP

the major form of stored energy in the body is carbohydrate, stored as glycogen
Energy is stored for later use by converting it to a compound that can be stored. These are glycogen and humans and starch in plants. In humans, insulin is produced by the pancreas which converts glucose (which can't be stored) into glycogen (which can be stored) which is stored in the liver. to convert the glycogen back to glucose when energy is needed the pancreas produces glucagon, this then converts the glycogen to glucose which is ready to be used by the body for energy.
Carbohydrates are broken down to release energy for the cells in the body. If an excess of energy is produced, the extra energy will be stored as fat.
Glycogen and Fat
It is used by the body.
Glycogen, which occurs in large amounts in the liver.

Im trying to find the answer to this too! Are you taking a nutrition class as well? LOL.
Used for respiration to produce energy Stored as glycogen for energy later
