The correct option is B. In the human body, excess glucose is stored primarily in the liver and muscles in the form of glycogen.
– Glycogen is a complex polysaccharide, a branched polymer of glucose.
– This process of glucose storage as glycogen is called glycogenesis.
– Glycogen serves as a readily available energy reserve.
Fructose is a different type of sugar. Glucose is the circulating form of sugar in the blood, used for immediate energy. Starch is the primary storage form of glucose in plants, not in animals or humans.
