Verified step by step guidance

Understand the role of glycogen in the body: Glycogen is a stored form of glucose, which is used by the body as a source of energy when needed.

Identify the organ responsible for glycogen storage: The liver is the primary organ that stores glucose in the form of glycogen. It plays a crucial role in maintaining blood glucose levels.

Consider the liver's function in glucose metabolism: The liver not only stores glycogen but also converts it back to glucose when the body requires energy, especially between meals or during physical activity.

Differentiate the roles of other organs: While the pancreas is involved in regulating blood glucose levels through insulin and glucagon, it does not store glycogen. The kidney and spleen have different functions unrelated to glycogen storage.

Conclude with the liver's importance: The liver's ability to store and release glucose as needed is vital for energy balance and metabolic homeostasis in the body.
