Answer:

Glycogen is stored in the liver and muscles. Insulin also helps our bodies store fat and protein. Almost all body cells need protein to work and grow. The body needs fat to protect nerves and make several important hormones.

Explanation:

Glycogen is stored in the liver and muscles. Insulin also helps our bodies store fat and protein. Almost all body cells need protein to work and grow. The body needs fat to protect nerves and make several important hormones.

The human body stores long term energy in lipids- these are fats, and oils. Lipids contain bonds that can be broken to release lots of energy. Short term energy is stored in carbohydrates, like sugars. An example of this is glucose. However, glucose is a large molecule and it is not the most efficient way for the body to quickly make energy. The cell’s most common form of energy is Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). This is a molecule consisting of one adenine molecule, with one 5 carbon sugar bonded to three phosphate groups. The energy in ATP is stored in the bond between the second and third group. When this is broken, energy is released, and the molecule becomes ADP, or Adenosine Diphosphate. ATP does not store a lot of energy though, in fact, glucose stores around 90x as much energy as ATP.
