Answer: Energy is stored in the body primarily as GLYCOGEN in the muscles and liver and as TRIGLYCERIDE in subcutaneous body fat.
Explanation:
We take in food for the purpose of ENERGY, building of worn out tissues of the body and to boost the body immunity. After the intake of food, amino acids from dietary protein are used to synthesize body proteins and other molecules, carbohydrate is used to maintain blood glucose and to build glycogen stores, fat is used for energy or stored in the body.
The body must have a steady supply of energy with some of it coming from the metabolism of glucose.
GLYCOGEN formation occurs when there is excess blood glucose level in the process called glycogenesis. It is the suitable way glucose can be stored as it is insoluble and can not disturb the osmotic pressure of the cells. When food is restricted over time, glycogen stores are expended, and the body must rely on the breakdown of stored GLYCOGEN to be converted to glucose for energy production.
Also, energy for tissues that don't require glucose can come from the breakdown of triglycerides in the adipose tissue. TRIGLYCERIDES are formed by the liver when excess calories are taken, and are stored in the adipose tissues.

Reported or indirect speech is usually used to talk about the past, so we normally change the tense of the words spoken. We use reporting verbs like 'say', 'tell', 'ask', and we may use the word 'that' to introduce the reported words. Inverted commas are not used.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Sugar, which is a product of the photosynthetic process of green plants can be converted to glucose (a simple carbohydrate). Enormous amount of these glucose molecules can be linked together to form a complex carbohydrate called cellulose, which is a polysaccharide because it is made up of a long chain of glucose molecules. The cellulose is ultimately used to build the cell wall of plants.
Anabolism is the production of a complex molecule by a living organism from a much simpler one. Since, cellulose is produced by the building up of glucose molecules, the process can therefore, said to be anabolic
