Answer:

The answer is glycogen.

Step-by-step explanation:

Glycogen is a polysaccharide of glucose that serves as a store of energy for muscle cells in animals and fungus.

Muscle glycogen turns into glucose in muscle cells and also in the liver is turned to glucose to assist the whole body including the central nervous system, which is the brain and the spinal cord.

I hope it helps!

I think the answer is glycogen.Glycogen functions as one of the two forms of long-term energy reserves, with the other form being triglyceride stores in adipose tissue. In human body, glycogen is made and stored primarily in the cells of the liver and skeletal muscle. In the muscles it is the primary fuel the muscles use for energy production.
