Correct answer: Glycogen  

Glycogen is a form of polysaccharide of glucose molecule which serve as energy storage unit in the humans. The excess glucose in the body is stored in the form of glycogen in the muscles and the liver.

The muscles can store upto 500 gram of glycogen and liver can store 100 gram of glucose. Therefore, any carbohydrate which is consumed beyond this limit are converted to and stored as fat.

Glycogen that are stored in muscle are broken down into glucose while  the liver cell glycogen are broken down into glucose as a circulating energy source to be used by the body.

svp [43]
Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas that may be caused by years of heavy consumption of alcohol of gall stones. The pancreas plays major important roles such as secreting digestive juices into the small intestines, which help to digest fats, proteins, and the carbohydrates in food. It also release hormones insulin and glucagon that regulate the blood sugar. Pancreatitis is characterized by a pancreas being inflamed, therefore when this happens the body's normal complex coordination is disrupted and the enzymes in the pancreas are prematurely activated before they exit the organ, which results in these enzymes digesting the pancreatic tissue.
