Starch is the storage form of carbohydrates in plants. In contrast, glycogen is the storage form of carbohydrates in animals.
Carbohydrates are absorbed and converted into glucose. The glucose can be stored as glycogen in the liver and the muscle tissue. If these are full the glucose will be converted into fat and stored.
Glycogen and Glucose.
Living organisms have two major ways to store energy. They use molecules such as, glycogen and triglycerides, to store energy in the form of covalent chemical bonds. Lipids also store energy in living organisms.
Carbohydrates :p
glucose
Source of carbohydrates, and in plants is used as a form of energy storage.

in the form of the polysaccharide starch
Glucose (sugar)
Source of carbohydrates, and in plants is used as a form of energy storage.
Carbohydrates are mainly stored as 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.
Yes. Starch is a storage form of glucose (which is sugar) found in plants only. And as to sugar, such as maltose in beer, is also one of the carbohydrates.

Cells use carbohydrates as a source of energy and for energy storage.
