Expert Answer
Glycogen is found in the form of granules in the cytosol/cytoplasm in many cell types, and plays an important role in the glucose cycle.
Glycogen forms an energy reserve that can be quickly mobilized to meet a sudden need for glucose, but one that is less compact than the energy reserves of triglycerides (lipids).
Each glycogen granule, or “glycosome,” is considered an independent metabolic unit composed of a highly branched polysaccharide and various proteins involved in its metabolism.
