Glycogen


Glycogen (Potatoes)

Glycogen is a polysaccharide composed of six carbons, ten hydrogens, and five oxygen. It's the most used form of energy storage in animals. It is located primarily in the liver and muscles so that it can be transformed into glucose when needed. It can also be found in various microorganisms, like bacteria and fungi. Potatoes are well known for being rich sources of starch to increase glycogen in the muscles.
