Answer:

C. Glycogen

Explanation:

When the food made of carbohydrates is broken in the organism, it creates glucose, which is a type of sugar that the body uses as a form of energy.  The amount that is not used gets stored in various tissues of the body, but the places where the glycogen is stored in larger amounts are the liver and skeletal muscle.

Answer:

Glycogen

Explanation:

Glucose is used primarily as a source of energy and as such it has to go inside the cell. Excess glucose that is not immediately needed as a source of energy is combined into long strands of clucose units called glycogen and it is stored in the liver and skeletal muscle tissue. Glycogen is later broken dowin into its constituent glucose units and used as a source of energy when needed.

Why have biologists found it so difficult to develop a precise definition for life?
Greeley [361]

Hey,

our intuition about life is simply; it moves it eats and it reproduces.

But there is more to it than that.

When we get down to the microworld tiny organisms become less and less complicated and more like the natural world around them. So how uncomplex can it be before it isn't living? That is a hard question to answer.

scientists have a basic definiton or "check boxes" that somthing must fill before it is considered living. Here are some "check boxes";

move, respond to stimuli, reproduce and grow, respire(breathe), and are dependent on their environment.

If you have just 1 of these and you call it living it wouldn't work. For example you could say anything that grows is living. black holes grow. You may say that anything that reproduces is alive, well when a giant star explodes some of its gas collapses and forms other stars, so that is saying that a star is living.
