After the expedition, Odell was privately certain that Mallory and Irvine had reached the summit of Mount Everest. Key to this belief was the spot where he had seen the two climbers, and his evaluation of their fitness and strength.
Carbohydrate is stored in limited amounts as blood glucose, liverglycogen, and muscle glycogen. The largest amount of energy isstored in the body as fats. Fats are stored as triglycerides in bothmuscle tissue and adipose (fat) tissue; triglycerides and free fattyacids (FFA) in the blood are a limited supply.
In humans, glycogen is made and stored primarily in the cells of the liver and the muscles hydrated with three or four parts of water. Glycogen functions as the secondary long-term energy storage, with the primary energy stores being fats held in adipose tissue.Muscle glycogen is converted into glucose by muscle cells, and liver glycogen converts to glucose for use throughout the body including the central nervous system.Glycogen is the analogue of starch, a glucose polymer that functions as energy storage in plants.It has a similar structure to amylopectin (a component of starch), but is more extensively branched and compact than starch.lycogen is the analogue of starch, a glucose polymer that functions as energy storage in plants.
