It all depends what you mean by "stores".

In the short term, energy can be stored as ATP (Adenosine TriPhosphate). This is an immediate source of energy for cells and is use and recycled rapidly.

In the medium term, glucose can be considered as a method of 'storing' energy.

Again, if the cell has plenty of glucose, it can be quickly used to create ATP if the cells requires more energy than is available as stored ATP.

In the long term, some cells (or the liver in the human body) can join glucose together to form glycogen. It can then be stored so that if the cell begins to run out of ATP AND Glucose, it will start to break up the Glycogen into Glucose and use this to obtain ATP.

Technically lipids and some other macromolecules (eg proteins) can also be a store of energy as long as they can be converted to glucose.

The cell is the functional basic unit of life. It was discovered by Robert Hooke and is the functional unit of all known living organisms. It is the smallest unit of life that is classified as a living thing, and is often called the building block of life.[1] Organisms can be classified as unicellular (consisting of a single cell; including most bacteria) or multicellular (including plants and animals). Humans contain about 100 trillion cells; a typical cell size is 10 µm and a typical cell mass is 1 nanogram. The human cell extrema are: largest - anterior horn in the spinal cord (135 μ vs. 120 μ for the ovum), longest - pseudounipolar cells which reach from extremities, including the toes to the lower brain stem, and smallest - granule cells in the cerebellum, at 4 µ.[2] The largest known cells are unfertilised ostrich egg cells, which weigh 3.3 pounds.[3][4]

In 1835, before the final cell theory was developed, Jan Evangelista Purkyně observed small "granules" while looking at the plant tissue through a microscope. The cell theory, first developed in 1839 by Matthias Jakob Schleiden and Theodor Schwann, states that all organisms are composed of one or more cells, that all cells come from preexisting cells, that vital functions of an organism occur within cells, and that all cells contain the hereditary information necessary for regulating cell functions and for transmitting information to the next generation of cells.[5]

The word cell comes from the Latin cellula, meaning "a small room". The descriptive term for the smallest living biological structure was coined by Robert Hooke in a book he published in 1665 when he compared the cork cells he saw through his microscope to the small rooms monks lived in.[6]

The molecule ATP stores energy in the last phosphate bond. ATP is sometimes called the battery of the cell.
