Answer:

Most glycogen is stored in the liver.

Explanation:

Glycogen is a polysaccharide made up of thousands of glucose units and, like all polysaccharides, has no sweetened taste. Thus, glycogen is a macromolecule that is chemically considered as a polymer formed by the association of glucose monomers.

The main concentrated glycogen storage organ is the liver, where this substance represents approximately 10% of its weight. Another place where we can find it is in the skeletal striated muscles, representing an important element of energy support. The amount of glycogen present in the muscles is very small (0.7% of their weight), however, due to the large amount of muscles, the stored glycogen value is higher than the amount stored in the liver.

The graph shows the change in number of two populations, lions and zebras. The solid line represents the population of zebras an

The graph portrays predation. The relationship shows that an increase in the population of zebra results in a subsequent increase in the lion population, and vice versa. This, therefore, means that the lion population is dependent on the zebra population due to an interaction (predation). The lion population will always be lower than that of the zebra because of the inefficiencies of energy transfer up the trophic levels (exhibited by a typical energy pyramid).
