Question

Polysaccharides are 1000s of monosaccharides joined together.These carbohydrates store energy and help build structural compounds. For example, plants use cellulose to build up their cell walls so they can stay rigid and grow towards the sunlight. Plants can store glucose energy in the form of starch in roots, fruits, and seeds. On the other hand, animals store glucose energy in the form of glycogen. When we don't have enough food to eat to replenish glucose in our cells, glycogen will release glucose energy as backup.
True or False??

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

As rightly stated in this question, Glycogen is a carbohydrate which animalsa store glucose energy as. When we eat food, all parts is not converted to glucose, some is converted to glycogen, which is then stored in the liver and muscle tissues.

This stored glycogen, which is a polymer of glucose is broken down to glucose for use during a low supply of glucose to the cells. Hence, it is TRUE that when we don't have enough food to eat to replenish glucose in our cells, glycogen will release glucose energy as backup.
