The correct answer is option C-glycogen

Glycogen is an immediate source of energy in animals. Glycogen is formed of small sub-units called glucose monomers. The process of formation of glycogen is called glycogenesis.  

Glycogen is animal equivalent to starch.  

When body need energy, the stored glycogen breaks down into small monomers called glucose and provide energy to the cell.  

The excessive amount of glycogen is stored in muscles and liver.

Can someone explain the Carbon Cycle? Include all the steps and how it works. Please keep it short. Will give brainiest
schepotkina [342]

Carbon enters the atmosphere through either respiration/decay or the burning of fossil fuels. Plants take in the carbon in order to make food. From here, animals can eat the plant which transfers the carbon to them. For example, a cow eats grass. The carbon will be trapped inside the cow until it dies. When the cow has passed, decomposers will release the carbon through respiration. The carbon then restarts back in the atmosphere.

That is not the only path the carbon could take. If the plant dies before an animal consumes it, the carbon is released when the plant decays.
