The major form of stored energy in animal bodies is because it question 6 options: a. glycogen; is lightweight b. protein; is a long-term energy storage form c. fat; has the highest energy content per gram d. fat; is readily stored and dissolved in water e. glycogen; breaks down into readily usable carbohydrates

The correct answer is e.glycogen; breaks down into readily usable carbohydrates.  

Animals store some glucose (smallest molecule into which a carbohydrate is broken down) in the cells of the liver. The energy of glucose is stored as glycogen. Glycogen is a very large, multi-branched polymer of glucose residues that can be broken down when energy is needed for the cells.
