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.

Glucose is stored in the liver as?
how Diabetic Ketoacidosis evolves and how the body compensates for the acid
Where is glycogen stored in the body?
liver and muscle
The only polysaccharide in the human body is?
Glycogen
What is excess glucose stored as?
glycogen
Where is glucose stored in the body?
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.
How do the human body is glucose stored?
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.
In what form is glucose stored in the human body?
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.
Where does the body stores glycogen?
The glycogen is stored in the Liver
To get energy from stored glycogen the body must first convert the glycogen into .?
To get energy from stored glycogen (in the liver), the body must first convert the glycogen into ATP. -JoshuaP

How do humans and plants store polysaccharides?
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 .
Where is excess glucose in the body stored?
It is stored in the liver as glycogen. It is converted into glycogen by insulin.
What is the majority of the energy in the body stored in?
the major form of stored energy in the body is carbohydrate, stored as glycogen
Where is glycogen stored in the body?
liver and muscle
Where is the energy in sucrose stored?
Sucrose (table sugar) is a disaccharide compound composed of the monosaccharides glucose and fructose. In the human body the "energy" from sucrose is broken down into the aforementioned monosaccarides. The glucose is converted into glycogen and stored in muscle tissues. Fructose is stored as glycogen in the liver. If the energy stores of the muscles and liver in the human body become filled then the remaining glucose and fructose are stored in adipose tissue (body fat).
The only polysaccharide in the human body is?
Glycogen
