Their digestive processes convert the starch to glucose. They can now use the glucose as a source of energy.

What carbohydrate is the main storage substance in a plant?
in the form of the polysaccharide starch
Which enzyme help animals to digest plants?
Cellulase helps in digestion of plant cell wall , Amylase helps in digestion of starch .
What does starch mean?
Destarching occurs when part of a plant is "deprived of starch, as by translocation". It is also the process of eliminating starch reserves in a plant for experiments
What contains starch in a plant cell?
what is the name of the plant cell that contains starch and what does it do
What do plants and animals store excess carbos as?
unused carbohydrates in an animal are stored as fat and as starch in a plant.
What are two polysaccharides in the structure of a plant cell?
2 polysaccharides found in plants are starch and cellulose. :)
What carbohydrates do animal cell use that is the equivalent of plant starch?
glycogen
What is Glycogen used for?
Glycogen is "Animal Starch" analagous to Plant Starch (polymerized glucose) - a form of chemical energy storage used by animals and fungi.
What carbohydrate is the main storage substance in a plant?
in the form of the polysaccharide starch
Why storage form of carbohydrates in plants is starch and glycogen in animals and humans?
This is because animals and human have Enzyme amylase that can convert starch in simple sugar that can be used by it's cell to release energy. plant doesn't have the enzyme that convert glycogen into a form that can be utilized by it's body cells
What are three important polysaccharides?
Polysaccharides are long chains of monosaccharides linked by glycosidic bonds. Three important polysaccharides, starch, glycogen, and cellulose, are composed ofglucose. Starch and glycogen serve as short-term energy stores in plants and animals, respectively. They range in structure from linear to highly branched.
Which is the main energy reserve in plants?
The internal energy reserve is starch in plantsSTARCH : actually these starch are excess carbohydrates which are stored in the plant bodyBut in case of animals we have a similar type of storing energy called glycogen but not as same as in the plantsGLYCOGEN : they are stored forms of energy in animals
What are the uses of starch in the plant?
the starch is for food when needed
What type of biomolecule is the primary energy storage molecule in animals?
Sugar (Glucose) and also Adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
What type of polysaccharide is found in potatoes?
Starch is found potatoes, not Glycogen. Glycogen is the plant equivalent of animal glycogen. A potato has starch but no glycogen; muscle cells have glycogen but no starch. The starch we eat is broken into glucose in the stomach/small intest and then reassembled in the muscle cells as glycogen.
What is the food stored by a plant in the form of sugar or starch?
Starch
Which enzyme help animals to digest plants?
Cellulase helps in digestion of plant cell wall , Amylase helps in digestion of starch .
