The process' (2) in which energy is stored in the form of glucose are photosynthesis and also cellular respiration. Photosynthesis takes place in plants and cellular respiration in both plants and animals.
Respiration is the process of oxidation of glucose to release the energy in the form of heat.
Glucose can be stored in plants in several ways. In some plants , the glucose molecules join to one another to form starch molecules. Some plants convert glucose to fructose and the energy is stored in this form. In other plants, fructose combines with glucose to form sucrose. The energy is stored in carbohydrates in this form. Plant cells obtain energy for their activities from these molecules.

Energy is burned or is used up during this process. During cellular respiration, molecules of glucose are broken down in order to convert the stored energy into a usable form of energy.

glucose and for a short energy burst kinetic energy, stored in muscle masses
Glucose is generally not excreted from the body, it can be stored as gyclogen, latter broken down for energy. In which glucose is broken down into pyruvate then into glycolosis for processing Excess glucose can be in the urine if you are diabetic. Glucose can be stored in your liver and in your muscles in the form of glycogen and then released as the cells need glucose for respiration. Glycolysis is the process whereby glucose is cut into two molecules of pyruvate. If oxygen is present, pyruvate will enter the mitochondria and chemical bonds in pyruate will be broken to release energy that will be stored in ATP
The plants take in energy by absorbing sunlight.
Energy is stored for later use by converting it to a compound that can be stored. These are glycogen and humans and starch in plants. In humans, insulin is produced by the pancreas which converts glucose (which can't be stored) into glycogen (which can be stored) which is stored in the liver. to convert the glycogen back to glucose when energy is needed the pancreas produces glucagon, this then converts the glycogen to glucose which is ready to be used by the body for energy.
Chemical energy
Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for the body. They occur in the form of sugars (simple and complex) and fiber. The sugars are converted into glucose, which provides energy. This energy can be used immediately or is stored for later use. Excess carbohydrate intake will cause the glucose to be stored in the form of fat.
Glucose for energy is stored as starch in plants. The glucose molecules join up to form starch molecules.
