The energy stored in human liver and muscle tissues is mainly in the form of which carbohydrate?

मानव के यकृत (Liver) और मांसपेशियों (Muscles) में ऊर्जा मुख्य रूप से किस कार्बोहाइड्रेट के रूप में संचित रहती है?

Options / विकल्प

A. Glycogen
ग्लाइकोजन

B. Sucrose
सुक्रोज

C. Cellulose
सेलुलोज

D. Starch
स्टार्च


Correct Answer / सही उत्तर

A. Glycogen (ग्लाइकोजन)


Detailed Explanation / विस्तृत व्याख्या

Hindi

ग्लाइकोजन (Glycogen) मानव और अन्य जानवरों में ग्लूकोज का मुख्य भंडारण रूप (Storage Form) है।

जब शरीर में ग्लूकोज की मात्रा आवश्यकता से अधिक होती है, तो वह ग्लाइकोजन में परिवर्तित होकर मुख्यतः:

  • यकृत (Liver)
  • मांसपेशियों (Muscles)

में संग्रहित हो जाता है।

जब शरीर को ऊर्जा की आवश्यकता होती है, तब यह ग्लाइकोजन पुनः ग्लूकोज में परिवर्तित होकर ऊर्जा प्रदान करता है।


English

Glycogen is the primary storage form of glucose in humans and animals.

When excess glucose is available in the body, it is converted into glycogen and stored mainly in:

  • Liver
  • Skeletal Muscles

Whenever energy is required, glycogen is broken down into glucose and used by the body.


Why Other Options Are Incorrect / अन्य विकल्प गलत क्यों हैं?

B. Sucrose (सुक्रोज)

❌ Common table sugar made of glucose and fructose.

❌ It is not stored in human tissues.


C. Cellulose (सेलुलोज)

❌ Structural carbohydrate present in plant cell walls.

❌ Humans cannot digest cellulose because they lack the enzyme cellulase.


D. Starch (स्टार्च)

❌ Main storage carbohydrate in plants.

❌ Humans digest starch into glucose and then store it as glycogen.

Humans & AnimalsGlycogen
PlantsStarch
Plant Cell WallCellulose

Liver Glycogen (यकृत ग्लाइकोजन)

✔ Maintains blood glucose levels.

✔ Supplies glucose to the whole body during fasting.


Muscle Glycogen (मांसपेशी ग्लाइकोजन)

✔ Provides energy directly to muscles during exercise.

✔ Cannot directly supply glucose to other organs.


Exam Point / परीक्षा बिंदु

Storage Carbohydrates

  • Glycogen → Animals/Humans
  • Starch → Plants
  • Cellulose → Plant Cell Wall
  • Sucrose → Transport Sugar in Plants

यह प्रश्न SSC, Railway, UPSC, NEET, CUET, State PSC एवं Teaching Exams में बार-बार पूछा जाता है।


One-Liner / एक पंक्ति में

Glycogen is the main storage carbohydrate in human liver and muscle tissues.

मानव के यकृत एवं मांसपेशियों में ऊर्जा मुख्य रूप से ग्लाइकोजन के रूप में संचित रहती है।
