Which of the following polysaccharides is also known as animal starch?

🔑Key Points:
The carbohydrates are stored in the animal body as glycogen. 
It is also known as animal starch because its structure is similar to amylopectin and is rather more highly branched.
It is present in the liver, muscles, and brain and is found in yeast and fungi.
When the body needs glucose, enzymes break the glycogen down to glucose. 
Polysaccharides contain a large number of monosaccharide units joined together by the glycosidic linkages. 
These are the most commonly encountered carbohydrates in nature.
They mainly act as food storage or structural materials.
