__ can also be described as animal starch. It is said to be abundant in the liver and muscles. a. glycogen b. amylose c. amylopectin d. starch

The correct answer is a. glycogen.<br /><br />Glycogen is a type of carbohydrate that is stored in the liver and muscles for energy. It is often referred to as animal starch because it serves a similar function to starch in plants, which is also a storage form of glucose. Glycogen is highly branched and allows for the rapid release of glucose when the body needs energy.
