Question

What is the advantage of storing glucose as glycogen in animals instead of as monomeric glucose:?

Answer 1

It is easier to consume glycogen instead of monomeric glucose

Answer 2

Answer:

The advantage of storing glycogen in animals instead of glucose is that, if glucose was stored in the cell it makes it a hypotonic solution thereby causing the cell to burst.

Explanation:

The presence of glucose inside a cell increases the ionic content of the cell and thereby through osmosis water enters the cell and cause it to burst whereas the glycogen stored does not cause this bursting to happen.
