Glycogen is the long-term energy storage for animals and most of an animals energy is exerted through motility or muscle movement so it would only make sense for glycogen to be broken down (through hydrolosis) where it was most needed; in the muscles.

Do chloroplast have glycogen granules?
No, they do not. Only animal cells have glycogen granule to store energy.
Are glycogen granules living?
No, they are simple storage molecules.
What cellular contents are non living?
glycogen granules
Stored glycogen granules crystals?
Cell CytoplasmThe cell cytoplasm contains various other substances and structures, including stored foods (glycogen granules and lipid droplets), pigment granules, crystals of various types, water vacuoles, and ingested foreign materials.Human A&P Lab. Manual -9th edition [cat version] Mariebpg. 44
What are the major functions of glycogen granule?
The major storage form of energy in animals is glycogen ,it is stored in glycogen granule . Therefore glycogen granules in muscle cell act as stores of energy , since muscle cells requires alot of energy to perform their functions.
Stored glycogen granules crystals pigment?
Inclusion bodies
What is the function of glycogen granules in bacteria?
Our bodies way of storing carbohydrates.
What is the function of glycogen granules in animal cell?
Glycogen granules form an energy or food store in mammalian cells. When needed, the glycogen can be broken down (hydrolysed) into glucose, which is used in respiration as a source of energy for the cell. For some background see: http://www.sciencedaily.com/articles/g/glycogen.htm
Where is glycogen found?
Glycogen is found in the form of granules in the cytosol in many cell types. ... liver glycogen can be abnormally accumulated or depleted. ...
How is energy stored in plant and animal fuels?
In humans and animals, most glycogen is stored as granules. when the body needs energy, it breaks down the glycogen granules into energy.
Where is glycogen located in animals?
Glycogen is stored primarily in the cells of the liver
What are the characteristics of glycogen?
Glycogen is a polysaccharide that is the principal storage form of glucose (Glc) in animal and human cells. Glycogen is found in the form of granules in the cytosol in many cell types. Hepatocytes (liver cells) have the highest concentration of it - up to 8% of the fresh weight in well fed state, or 100-120 g in an adult. In the muscles, glycogen is found in a much lower concentration (1% of the muscle mass), but the total amount exceeds that in liver. Small amounts of glycogen are found in the kidneys, and even smaller amounts in certain glial cells in the brain and white blood cells. Glycogen plays an important role in the glucose cycle
