Glycogen. Plants store energy in starch.... Mammals store their excess energy in glycogen.
I'm thinking glucagon. The liver is responsible for much of the bodies glucose storage which is in the form of glucagon.

glycogen
Triglycerides
Glycogen is stored in the liver and muscles, and is second to fats as long-term energy storage.
Glucose is stored as glycogen in muscles and liver.
In plants, glucose is generally stored as starch.
Most animals store glucose as glycogen in liver and muscles .
The simplest carbohydrate molecule is a sugar. For example, glucose. A single glucose (or any other simple sugar) is called a monosaccharide. A string of two joined sugar molecules (say 2 joined glucoses) forms a disaccharide. Many thousands of sugar molecules joined into a very long string is what a polysaccharide is. Starch is a plant-stored polysaccharide and glycogen is an animal-stored polysaccharide. These are examples of very long strings of alpha glucose molecules. A long string of beta glucoses forms the polysaccharide called cellulose.
glucose is converted into a sugar called sucrose Excess glucose is stored as glycogen in your muscles and liver. It is released as needed between meals.
No. Glucose is stored in the liver and muscles as Glycogen. The gall bladder is involved in the digestive process.
Starch is stored by plants.Animals' storing carbohydrate is glycogen.
Glucose is stored in the body as glycogen. Excess glucose in circulation is normally polymerized within the liver and muscles as glycogen, which is hydrolyzed to glucose as needed.
Glycogen synthesis, glycogenesis, is one of the most important anabolic pathways. Insulin drives the synthesis of glycogen from glucose. Glycogen is stored in the liver which is then turned back to glucose by glucagon during excercises and fasting. Hope this helps!!
Glucose is stored in the muscle and liver cells as glycogen. Glycogen is insoluble, unlike glucose. This means it won't affect the osmotic potential of the cells.
Starch.A long chain of simple sugar units is called starch, which is converted from glucose (simple sugar). Starch is stored in the leaf temporarily during photosynthesis. During the Dark Phase, starch is converted back into glucose and it transported to the storage areas of the plant.
