Humans store excess polysaccharides in the form of glycogen.

Polysaccharides are carbohydrates. They are generally used to generate energy in the form of ATP for the body's metabolic activities.

Carbohydrates are broken down during respiration to generate energy. Excess carbohydrates are generally converted to glycogen through the actions of an enzyme in the liver.

Glycogens are converted back to simpler carbohydrates when there is inadequate carbohydrate in the body.

Law Incorporation [45]
<h2>Energy </h2>

Explanation:

Energy flows in only one direction through an ecosystem

  • The Sun supports most of Earth's ecosystems
  • Plants create chemical energy from abiotic factors that include solar energy and chemosynthesizing bacteria create usable chemical energy from unusable chemical energy
  • The food energy created by producers is passed to consumers, scavengers, and decomposers
  • Energy flows through an ecosystem in only one direction, it is passed from organisms at one trophic level or energy level to organisms in the next trophic level
  • Most of the energy at a trophic level – about 90% – is used at that trophic level and organisms need it for growth, locomotion, heating themselves, and reproduction
  • So animals at the second trophic level have only about 10% as much energy available to them as do organisms at the first trophic level
  • Animals at the third level have only 10% as much available to them as those at the second level
