Energy is required for the normal functioning of the organs in the body. Many tissues can also use fat or protein as an energy source but others, such as the brain and red blood cells, can only use glucose. Glucose is stored in the body as glycogen. The liver is an important storage site for glycogen.

Answer: Glycogen

Explanation: When we intake food which is a source of carbohydrate to the body, then it is broken down into glucose molecules to be used as a source of energy.

The energy is obtained from the glucose molecules present in the bloodstream. The extra glucose gets stored in the muscle in the form of glycogen.

When there is a fasting condition or low glucose in the blood stream,  then the stored glycogen is converted into glucose to provide energy to the body.

Hence, Glucose and Glycogen metabolism is important for the body.

What are the four carbon macromolecules the body uses and makes?
aliya0001 [1]

Living things are made of types of molecules, known as macromolecules.

There are four major classes of biological macromolecules:

carbohydrates

lipids

proteins

nucleic acids

Each of these types of macromolecules performs a wide array of important functions within the cell; a cell cannot perform its role within the body without many different types of these crucial molecules. In combination, these biological macromolecules make up the majority of a cell’s dry mass. (Water molecules make up the majority of a cell’s total mass.) All the molecules both inside and outside of cells are situated in a water-based (i.e., aqueous) environment, and all the reactions of biological systems are occurring in that same environment.
