The correct Answer is:
To determine which organ has the maximum glycogen, we can analyze the options provided: 1. **Understanding Glycogen Storage**: Glycogen is a stored form of glucose, which is primarily found in the liver and muscles. It serves as an energy reserve for the body. 2. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **(a) Liver**: The liver is known to store a significant amount of glycogen. It can make up about 10% of the liver's mass. - **(b) Muscles**: While muscles do store glycogen, the amount is considerably less than that of the liver, typically less than 1% of muscle mass. - **(c) Nerves**: Nerve cells primarily use glucose directly and do not store glycogen in significant amounts. - **(d) Kidneys**: The kidneys also do not store glycogen in large quantities compared to the liver. 3. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the liver has the highest glycogen content compared to the other options listed. Thus, the answer is **(a) Liver**.
