Verified step by step guidance

Understand the definition of glycogen: Glycogen is a polysaccharide that serves as a storage form of energy in animals. It is composed of glucose units linked together and is highly branched.

Eliminate incorrect options: Review each answer choice and determine whether it aligns with the definition of glycogen.

Analyze the first option: 'a highly branched polymer of glucose that serves as a storage form of energy in animals.' This matches the definition of glycogen, so it is likely correct.

Analyze the second option: 'a linear polymer of fructose found in plants.' This describes inulin, not glycogen, so it is incorrect.

Analyze the third and fourth options: 'an enzyme involved in glycolysis' and 'a disaccharide composed of glucose and galactose.' These do not describe glycogen, as glycogen is neither an enzyme nor a disaccharide.
