Question

Which of the following molecular form is stored energy in animals?

I. Glucose

II. Glycogen

III. Lipid

IV. Protein

• A. I and II
• B. II and III
• C. I, II and III
• D. II, III and III
• E. I, II, III and IV

Answer 1

The correct option is B II and III

Glycogen is a polysaccharide that serves as a form of stored energy in animals and fungi. Excess glucose is polymerised and stored as glycogen in the liver of animals and starch in plants. Excess of fatty acid is converted to lipids. Adipose tissue stores lipids in the form of “triglycerides”.

Thus, the correct answer is option "II and III".
