Q. In vertebrates, glycogen is stored chiefly in

KVPYKVPY 2013

Solution:

Glycogen is a large multi-branched polymer of glucose which is accumulated in response to insulin and broken down into glucose in response to glycogen. Glycogen is mainly stored in the liver and muscles and provides the body with a readily available source of energy if blood glucose levels decrease.
