Answer AND Explanation:

Glucose can be stored in animals in form of glycogen. glucose being a simple sugar has high ion content. This increases the concentration gradient and thus water can be drawn in from the neighboring cells. The cells would bust. Glycogen being a polysaccharide can be hydrolysed to glucose through action of enzymes to provide energy.
