Answer:

The correct answer would be "They are stored as fat".

In animals, the excess of carbohydrates or glucose is first converted into glycogen (polysaccharide) through the process called glycogenesis. It is then stored in the liver and skeletal muscles.

When glycogen reservoirs are saturated, excess carbohydrates, as well as proteins, are converted into fats which are then majorly stored in adipose tissues.

Adipose tissues serve as the long-term energy storage reservoirs.
