liver

Glycogen functions as one of two forms of energy reserves, glycogen being for short-term and the other form being triglyceride stores in adipose tissue (i.e., body fat) for long-term storage. In humans, glycogen is made and stored primarily in the cells of the liver and skeletal muscle.

Answer:

Glycogen is stored in the liver and muscles.

Explanation:

Glycogen is a multibranched polymer of glucose that is used by bacteria, fungi, and animals to store energy. The polysaccharide structure is a representative of the body's main method of storing glucose.

One of two types of energy reserves, glycogen is used for short-term storage whereas the other type is triglyceride stores in adipose tissue, which are used for long-term storage. Human skeletal muscle and liver cells create and store the majority of the human body's glycogen. Glycogen can account for 5–6% of the liver's fresh weight, and an adult liver weighing 1.5 kg can hold about 100–120 grams of glycogen. Low levels of glycogen are present in skeletal muscle, with an adult's skeletal muscle weighing 70 kg roughly 400 grams of glycogen.
