Which one of the following biomolecules is most abundant in animals?
Correct answer: C. Glycogen
- A. Starch
- B. Cellulose
- C. Glycogen
- D. All of these
Explanation
Out of all the options, the most abundant carbohydrate in animals is glycogen. It is found in the liver and muscles, where it is used as a storage form of energy. Glycogen is more abundant than other carbohydrates in animals because it is a more efficient form of energy storage. Glycogen is less reactive than glucose, which makes it a safer form of energy storage.
