Electrons transfer energy from glucose to other molecules during redox reactions in cells.
Starch is a polysaccharide: it is made up of many, many units of glucose molecules joined together with glycosidic linkages between them. Glucose units are joined through condensation (dehydration synthesis) reactions, where 2 H and one oxygen is removed between 2 glucose molecules to join them together. In photosynthesis, plants use light energy to produce chemical energy in the form of glucose from CO2 and water. The glucose produced is usually converted into starch by the plant for energy storage. Starch is stored mostly in the amyloplasts of a plant. Starch, unlike glucose, is not soluble in room temperature water, so it is more compact and easily stored.

Muscle cells do not directly use maltose as an energy source. Maltose is a disaccharide composed of two glucose molecules linked together. Muscle cells break down maltose into its constituent glucose molecules with the help of the enzyme maltase. These glucose molecules are then used by muscle cells for energy production through processes like glycolysis and cellular respiration.

Chloroplasts convert sunlight into potential energy. The energy is then converted into the chemical energy in the glucose molecules.
Starch is a polysaccharide which means it has many glucose molecules joined together for long lasting energy and providing the feeling of 'fullness'. Surcose is a Disaccharide which is only two glucose molecules joined together for a 'burst' of energy which isn't long lasting and will just make you wander back to the fridge earlier.
