Glucose is the prime source of emergency in our body. However, it is stored in the form of glycogen in the muscle and liver of animal and in the form of starch in plants. As a result, everytime a cell requires glucose, it must hydrolyze glycogen which is an energy consuming process. Why does the cell store glycogen instead of glucose in free form?
