They are stored in glycogen, and used for energy. I hope you don't mind that I deleted the "traveling in light waves answer"

∙ 13y agoQuick-energy forms of carbohydrates are the disaccharides and monosaccharides.
Disaccharides are double sugars, such as sucrose (cane sugar) and lactose (milk sugar). These are broken down into monosaccharides (single sugars) such as glucose before they are used as energy sources.
Animals store carbohydrate as the polysaccharide glycogen. This is a polymer of glucose ie it consists of long chains of glucose molecules. Glycogen is stored in the cells of the liver and muscle.
Plants store carbohydrate as starch, and glycogen is the animal equivalent of starch.

∙ 11y agoThe storage form of carbohydrates in animals is called glycogen. It's a multibranched polysaccharide.
The quick-energy form of carbohydrate found is animals is glucose. Glucose is a simple monosaccharide with the formula C6H12O6.

What are the storage forms of carbohydrates found in animals?
Glycogen and Glucose.
What is the stored form of carbohydrate in plants and animals respictively?
Starch is the storage form of carbohydrates in plants. In contrast, glycogen is the storage form of carbohydrates in animals.
What is the animal storage carbohydrate?
Animals store carbohydrate in the form of glycogen. This is the secondary storage tissue in animals after adipose tissue. Plants store carbohydrates in the form of starch.
The carbohydrate energy storage molecule of animals is?
The carbohydrate energy storage molecule of animals is glycogen. Glycogen is a substance deposited in bodily tissues as a store of carbohydrates.
What are the storage and quick-energy forms of carbohydrates found in animals and how are these forms structurally related to each other?
glycogen is the major source of glucose storage in most animals. It is mainly stored in the liver. Glucose is taken up from the blood stream and transported to the liver where cells link up the glucose molecules into chains which are called glycogen. I believe most types of glycogen formation in mammals is similar, only the amount and type of branching of these glycogen storage molecules may differ. and they are related because some can travel in waves like light and sound they all can have an impact on an object
Are carbohydrates stored similarly in both plants and animals?
No - they are stored in different forms. The main storage carbohydrate in plants is starch, and in animals it is glycogen.
What carbohydrate is the main storage substance in a plant?
in the form of the polysaccharide starch
Which macromolecules can be used for long term energy storage in animals?
Glycogen (made up the macromolecule carbohydrates)
How are the processes of dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis related to the organic compuounds such as carbohydrates lipids and proteins?
The process of dehydration, synthesis and hydrolysis are related to the organic compounds such as the carbohydrates, lipids and proteins because they are involved in their digestion, egestion and storage.
What is the main storage molecule in animals?
Animals have molecules that can store energy for short term and long term periods of time. Animals use carbohydrates as short term storage and Lipids as long term storage.
Carbohydrates and lipids are used to store energy in living organisms?
Yes, both types of macromolecules are used for energy storage. The most important distinction is that carbohydrates are used for short-term storage while lipids are used for long-term storage in animals. Carbs are usually the sole storage in plants.
How do you obtain starch?
Starches are carbohydrates. Starch in plants is like glycogen in animals: it is the storage form of carbohydrates. Starches are large chains of glucose molecules. Complex carbohydrates are primarily starches, while simple carbohydrates are sugars. So, you get starch when you consume complex carbohydrates.
