Glycogen

Human body stores energy in the form of glycogen. Glycogen is short-term energy storage. It is COMPACT so that it can save a lot of space. It is INSOLUBLE in water so that it won't affect the osmotic pressure of the blood. It is COMPLEX, but it can be HYDROLYZED easily when our body needs energy.
