Glucose in animals is stored as glycogen. Glycogen is a polymer of glucose subunits attached with alpha (1-4) glycosidic linkages to link the individual glucose molecules, and alpha (1-6) linkages to create branch points for larger branched molecules. It is very similar to plant's energy reserve macromolecule - starch.

polymerization
What is a Highly branched arrangement of glucose molecules found in liver and skeletal muscle cells?
Glycogen Glycogen is storage form of glucose in the liver and skeletal muscles of animals.
What are the structural differences of glycogen and starch?
Glycogen is storage form of glucose in animals .Starch is the storage form of glucose in plants
Glucose is stored in the liver and muscles as a large polysaccharide called?
Glycogen. Plants store energy in starch.... Mammals store their excess energy in glycogen.
Which of these substances is the storage form of glucose?
Glycogen is the storage form for animals, starch for plants.
The liver store glucose in what form?
Glycogen is stored in the liver and muscles, and is second to fats as long-term energy storage.
Glycogen is the storage form of what in animals?
glucose
What is the primary storage form of carbohydrates?
glucose
What is the storage form of glucose?
Animals store excess glucose in their liver as a large compound called glycogen. Plants store extra glucose in their starch.
What is the primary storage form of carbohydrates in the body?
glucose
The liver can supply the skeletal muscles with energy in the form of free glucose but the skeletal muscles cannot supply the liver with energy in the form of free glucose?
No. Unlike skeletal muscles, the liver contains an enzyme known as glucose 6-phosphatase that can remove the phosphate groups and produce free glucose.
