Plants capture energy from sunlight by means of photosynthesis. Using the green pigment in their leaves called chlorophyll, which makes sugar. They store the sugar primarily as starch. Storage in the form of fat / oil is common too, especially in seeds.
Animals mostly store excess sugar in body fat, and plants usually make fruit with excess sugar (as long as they have enough water).

What is excess glucose stored as?
glycogen
The storage form of sugar in plants is known as?
The Calvin Cycle changes carbon dioxide and water into G3P, or glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. This is a type of sugar that in turn can be stored, or used to become anything from starch to cellulose to lipids.
Where do plants store chemical energy?
Plants store chemical energy in sugar molecules. Plants go through photosynthesis in order to grow and store the food they need.
Where do plants store starch?
Plants manufacture glucose as a result of photosynthesis. Glucose is a simple sugar, but the plant cannot store it as glucose, because it takes up too much room. Instead, the plant produces starch, which is basically glucose without some water. This process is called dehydration synthesis, and it allows the plant to store the sugar it needs more efficiently. Humans and other animals, on the other hand, store sugar differently. We can't store glucose either, nor can we store starch because we're not plants; but we can store glucose as glycogen. Both starch and glycogen are polysaccharides, and both are formed by dehydration synthesis.
How do plants store extra sugar?
In their main central vacuole.
Whahow do plants and animals store excess sugar?
starch
Is carbhydrates storage in both plants and animals?
Plants store carbohydrates as sugars and starches...cellulose is also a complex structural sugar. Animals store glycogen (a type of complexed sugar) in the liver and muscles for fast energy and convert excess carbohydrate to fat.
How do plants store excess sugar?
It saves it by stirring it in the leaf.
In what organ do animals store excess sugar?
Liver as glycogen
What is the name for a polysaccharide that plants use to store excess sugar?
starch
Do plants store glycogen?
Nonexistent. Glycogen isn't in plants.
Where do we store our excess sugar?
Excess sugar is converted to fat and stored in fat cells.
How do plants store sugar's and what does it turn into?
Plants store sugar's in chlorophyll which is glucose and that is turned into energy for the plant!
How do animals store glucose?
Most animals store glucose as glycogen in liver and muscles .
Why do plants store sugar in their roots how does it help?
Plants store sugar in their roots to help them grow. Plants store the sugar for further use because their leaves use photosynthesis every day
When plants store sugar what do they store it as?
protiens >:{)
Is sugar an animal by-product?
Not really, sugar is made by plants - animals eat the plants to get this sugar.
