unused carbohydrates in an animal are stored as fat and as starch in a plant.
Plants are capable of manufacturing their own food using the process of photosynthesis. They store excess energy in the form of starch.
The storage polysaccharide, long chains of linked glucose, is called starch in plants.
Starches
starch
Plants capture energy from sunlight by means of photosynthesis. Using the green pigment in their leaves called chlorophyll, which makes sugar. They store the sugar primarily as starch. Storage in the form of fat / oil is common too, especially in seeds. Animals mostly store excess sugar in body fat, and plants usually make fruit with excess sugar (as long as they have enough water).
Yes - plants store energy in the form of starch.
glycogen
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.
Sugarcane plants store their excess food in the stem. That is the edible part of the stem which many humans eat.

Plants store carbohydrates as sugars and starches...cellulose is also a complex structural sugar. Animals store glycogen (a type of complexed sugar) in the liver and muscles for fast energy and convert excess carbohydrate to fat.
What is the difference in which in animals and plants store energy?
The body uses glucose as energy. Excess glucose is stored as fat (in animals) and as starch (in plants).
Animals store excess glucose in their liver as a large compound called glycogen. Plants store extra glucose in their starch.
It saves it by stirring it in the leaf.
Liver as glycogen
Yes - plants store energy in the form of starch.
Animals Store their excess energy in the form of fat's.
starch
All plants store oil such as olive oil in their seeds. The excess energy that is available is used by plants to make glycerol and fatty acids.
