Answer 2

Liver glycogen will be first used in a staving person. (Option C)

• Our body needs certain amount of biological energy for it's survival and to perform normal biological activities.

• This biological energy comes from the glucose which is in our consumed food materials.

• But when the body doesn't get any kind of food for more than 6 hours,the glycogen stored in our liver,breaks down into normal glucose molecules to provide energy to our body and brain.
