Starch or TAGs
Starch. Plants use the excess glucose to form starch molecules
bacteria? No. The chemical storage molecule for energy, in living things, is ATP, adenosine triphosphate.
molecules Why Molecules? Did u tell that? Please improve this answer because I want to know why.
A water molecule is polar, which is why it attracts other polar molecules.
It takes 2 monosaccharide molecules to form a maltose molecule. Those are 2 glucose molecules. So 2 glucose molecules join together to make 1 maltose molecule.
Creatine Phosphate
Yes. The energy-storage molecule, ATP, is adenosine triphosphate.
A molecule in a molecule is the smallest a molecule can be ( in easier terms)
Whales use fat or lipid molecules for energy and insulation.
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.
Starch. Plants use the excess glucose to form starch molecules
It depends on the species and what kind of organism. For animals common storage molecules are glycogen for sugars and fatty acids for fats. In plants storage of sugar is usually in the form of starch. However, some bacteria grow on exotic substances, and may use elemental sulphur as their storage molecule. In bacteria it also depeneds on the environment in which they are living and the availability of certain elements, for example, poly hydroxy butyrate is used as a storage molecule when conditions are limited in nitrogen and phosphorus, while other molecules would be used in other conditions.
The principle storage molecule for glucose in plants is starch . The principle storage molecule for glucose in animal cells is glycogen.
Red Algae
Green algae uses Floridian starch as its typical material for energy storage.
Sugar molecules are used as the storage place for energy because it is a complex molecule that has energy in its many bonds. However, ATP and NADPH are used to carry the energy from the light reactions over to the Calvin cycle. They are temporary storage sites of energy.
Storage can happen with stable molecules, and ATP is not a stable molecule. It is the energy "currency"- as some like to refer to it. NADH and FADH are electron carriers. Starch (plants), glycogen (animals) are storage carbohydrates; triglycerides are storage lipids. Proteins and nucleic acids may also be used for energy, but the their catabolites are not good for the animal.
