Glycogen is stored in:
Correct answer: A. Liver
- A. Liver
- B. Spleen
- C. White Blood Cells (W.B.C.)
- D. Skin cells
Explanation
The correct answer is the liver. The liver is responsible for storing glycogen, which is a form of glucose storage. It releases glucose into the bloodstream when needed to maintain blood glucose levels. The spleen, while part of the immune system, does not store glycogen. White blood cells are involved in immune response and do not function in glycogen storage. Skin cells serve as a protective barrier and also do not store glycogen.

About Biological Molecules
The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
