the form of carbohydrate that is stored in liver and muscle tissue.

Explanation:

Glycogen is a polysaccharide that is made up of only glucose molecules, which serves a source of energy which is stored in the muscle and liver tissues.

Glycogen is the major carbohydrate that is stored as a source of energy in mammals. Glycogen energy reserves in the liver s short termed, compared to the other form of energy, triglycerides which is stored in the adipose tissue and is long term.

Glycogen is synthesized especially after a carbohydrate meal is eaten and in further broken down as the glucose stores depletes, by the enzyme glycogen phosphorylase.
