Glycogen is a multibranched polysaccharide of glucose that serves as a form of energy storage in animals, fungi, and bacteria.Glycogen functions as one of two forms of energy reserves, glycogen being for short-term and the other form being triglyceride stores in adipose tissue (i.e., body fat) for long-term storage.

Glycogen is the energy storage in animals, starch is the energy storage in plants, and cellulose makes up the cell wall in plants (chitin makes up cell wall in fungi and exoskeleton of arthropods).
