photosynthesis
The main storage form of glucose in the body is glycogen.
Glycogen is the storage form for animals, starch for plants.
No, glucose is a monosaccharide and a simple form of carbohydrate, not a storage form. Carbohydrates are stored in the body as glycogen, a polysaccharide made up of glucose molecules linked together.
The storage form is called glycogen and is usually found in the liver.

glucose
Animals store excess glucose in their liver as a large compound called glycogen. Plants store extra glucose in their starch.
glucose
The form of glucose used my plants is called starch, which is found in the cell wall of the plant, along with cellulose.
Glucose in animals is stored as glycogen. Glycogen is a polymer of glucose subunits attached with alpha (1-4) glycosidic linkages to link the individual glucose molecules, and alpha (1-6) linkages to create branch points for larger branched molecules. It is very similar to plant's energy reserve macromolecule - starch.
Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in animals, while starch is the storage form of glucose in plants. Both glycogen and starch are polysaccharides made up of glucose units, but they differ in the branching pattern of their glucose chains and the enzymes involved in their synthesis and breakdown.
Glycogen is a storage of energy within the body, and glucose is the primary form of energy
