&nbsp;Glycogen is ancarbohydrate and is a storage form of glucose. It is a polysaccharide consisting of alpha-glucose molecules joined by alpha 1,-Glycosidic<br>&nbsp;alpha bonds, with 1,6-Glycosidic bonds forming at intervals. Glycogen is insoluble so it will not change the osmolarity of the cell. It is commonly found in all tissue, but in high concentrations in muscles and in the liver <ref>Borg J.M., Tymoczko J.L., Stryer L., Biochemistry (7th edition), 2012, WH Freeman and Company, New York, Page 328</ref>.
