  • Glycogen: The Storage Form of Glucose in Animals - Definition & Function
    The highly branched arrangement of glucose molecules found in liver and skeletal muscle cells is called glycogen.

    Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in animals. It's a complex carbohydrate made up of many glucose molecules linked together in a highly branched structure. This branching allows for rapid release of glucose when needed, as enzymes can easily access the many ends of the branches to break down the glycogen into individual glucose molecules.
