Excess carbs and calories are stored as fat.
Excess carbs and calories are stored as fat.
No, carbohydrates are stored differently in plants and animals. In plants, carbohydrates are stored in the form of starch, while in animals, carbohydrates are stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles.
Starch is the storage form of carbohydrates in plants. In contrast, glycogen is the storage form of carbohydrates in animals.
Carbohydrates are stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles, and excess carbohydrates can also be converted to fat for long-term storage in adipose tissue.
Carbohydrates in any form, (simple or complex) are eventually turned into Glucose. Glucose is a simple sugar. If you do not utilize all of the Glucose stored in your body, it will become fat. This will be stored in your fat cells.
Excess carbohydrates are stored in the body in the form of glycogen primarily in the liver and muscles. When these storage sites are full, the excess carbohydrates may be converted to fat for long-term energy storage. This is a way for the body to reserve energy for times when food intake is insufficient.

Plants store energy in the form of carbohydrates through photosynthesis. When animals eat plants, they break down these carbohydrates through cellular respiration to release the stored energy for their own use.
unused carbohydrates in an animal are stored as fat and as starch in a plant.
The storage form of carbohydrates is glycogen, proteins are stored as amino acids, and lipids are stored as triglycerides in living organisms.
In plants, the major polymers (carbohydrates such as cellulose and starch) are stored in the form of starch granules in specialized plant organs like roots, tubers, and seeds. In animals, the major polymers (such as glycogen) are stored in the form of glycogen granules primarily in the liver and muscles for rapid energy release when needed.
Largely cellulose and starch.
