ANSWER:

Animals store their energy in glycogen form in the body. This energy has been stored in the body for later use to perform the various life functions.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Animals obtain their energy from the food they take in so that the various metabolic processes of the body can be performed.
  • When animals eat food, the glucose present in food is broken-down by "cellular respiration" into an energy molecule known as ATP.
  • When "excess ATP and glucose" are present, these are converted to glycogen by the liver and stored in the body for later use.
