Glucose and glycogen are both carbohydrates, but they serve different functions in the body. Glucose is a simple sugar that provides immediate energy, while glycogen is a complex carbohydrate that serves as a stored form of glucose for energy. Glycogen is primarily found in the liver and muscles, where it can be quickly converted back to glucose when needed. Understanding the distinction between these two carbohydrates is essential for grasping how the body manages energy. Further research is encouraged for a deeper understanding of their roles and functions.
