What is storage diseases?
Glycogen Storage disease is an inhearited disease that is caused by the large amount of build up of a carbohydrate called glycogen in the cells of the body. Unfourtantly when the build up occures then it causes other organs of the body to malfunction such at the liver.
How you will define glycogen?
Glycogen is the body's storage of energy. It is a starch.
What is the storage of the starch?
glycogen
Why is glycogen a storage of carbohydrate in muscle?
Glycogen is a storage of carbohydrate in the muscles, because that is the way the body is made. To access glycogen, the body needs to get into active mode.
What carbohydrate is used in the liver for energy storage?
glycogen
What promotes the storage of glucose as glycogen?

What is a storage form of carbohydrate in muscle?
Carbohydrates are mainly stored as glycogen.
The major storage sites for glycogen in the body are?
The major storage sites for glycogen in the body are the liver and skeletal muscles. The liver stores glycogen to maintain blood glucose levels, while skeletal muscles store glycogen to provide energy during physical activity.
What is storage of carbonhydrates in animals?
Glycogen
What is the storage form of carbohydrate called?
The storage form of carbohydrate in animals is called glycogen, while in plants it is called starch. Both glycogen and starch serve as a source of energy that can be readily accessed when needed.
How is glycogen present in the muscle cell?
Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in the muscle cell. Glycogen can be used for energy.
What molecules are storage forms of glucose in plant and animal cells?
The storage form is called glycogen and is usually found in the liver.
