    Glycogen is also called as the animal starch. This carbohydrate polymer is made up of the several repeating monomer units (in thousands) of alpha D glucose. The skeletal muscles break down this glycogen into the monomer alpha D glucose units in order to generate energy, which can be used for the contraction and relaxation of the muscle filaments.

    Hence, the answer is 'alpha D glucose'.
