The carbohydrates are stored in animal body as glycogen.
It is also known as animal starch because its structure is similar to amylopectin and is rather more highly branched.
It is present in liver, muscles and brain.
When the body needs glucose, enzymes break the glycogen down to glucose.
Glycogen is also found in yeast and fungi.
