No, they do not. Only animal cells have glycogen granule to store energy.
glycogen granules
Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplast, generally storage granules or vesicles does the nutrient storage function.
Our bodies way of storing carbohydrates.
Glycogen granules form an energy or food store in mammalian cells. When needed, the glycogen can be broken down (hydrolysed) into glucose, which is used in respiration as a source of energy for the cell. For some background see: http://www.sciencedaily.com/articles/g/glycogen.htm
The storage granule are membrane bounded vesicles containing condensed secretory materials (often in an inactive, zymogene, form). Otherwise known as zymogene granules or vacuoles. Granules found in plastids or in cytoplasm, assumed to be food reserves, often of glycogen or other carbohydrate polymer.
No, they are simple storage molecules.

Cell CytoplasmThe cell cytoplasm contains various other substances and structures, including stored foods (glycogen granules and lipid droplets), pigment granules, crystals of various types, water vacuoles, and ingested foreign materials.Human A&P Lab. Manual -9th edition [cat version] Mariebpg. 44
The major storage form of energy in animals is glycogen ,it is stored in glycogen granule . Therefore glycogen granules in muscle cell act as stores of energy , since muscle cells requires alot of energy to perform their functions.
i think the most important part of chloroplast is chlorophyll granules. because photosynthesis occurs these granules in the cytoplasm after using 2 ATP.
Inclusion bodies
Our bodies way of storing carbohydrates.
There are many substances.Some of them are ribosomes,enzymes,grana,starch granules,DNA etc
Glycogen is the long-term energy storage for animals and most of an animals energy is exerted through motility or muscle movement so it would only make sense for glycogen to be broken down (through hydrolosis) where it was most needed; in the muscles.
