Glucose is the prime source of energy in our body. However it is stored in the form of glycogen in the muscle and liver of animals and in the form of starch in plants. As a result, every time 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?
(a)Glycogen is more compact and more hydrophilic
(b)Storage of glucose in free form will consume more ATP
(c)Glucose in the free form creates more osmotic pressure
(d)Glucose is highly reactive molecule hence storing in the free form can result in unwanted reactions in the cells.
