Question

For how many hours could an average person be sustained by the body’s stored glycogen under resting conditions?

Answer 1

D.

This is so since the average person (with activity) stores enough glycogen to last him 12 to 14 hours.

Answer 2

Answer:

C. 12–14 hours

Explanation:

Glycogen is a polysaccharide that serves as a source of energy for the human body. It can be stored in the human body at rest for 12-14 hours.

Glycogen is stored in the liver and muscles of the skeleton that serves as a source of energy when the body requires it (for example during exercise or when the body has a reduced amount of glucose in the body)
