∙ 9y agoThe bonds in fatty acids are made from carbon and hydrogen can store a lot of energy. The bird would be wiser to store more energy, more long lasting, and energy in lipids.

Do chloroplast have glycogen granules?
No, they do not. Only animal cells have glycogen granule to store energy.
What form do Vertebrates store energy?
# glycogen # fat
What is the role of glycogen in living organisms?
Glycogen is the primary short term energy storage in animal cells. It is made in both muslces and the liver. Glycogen is basically the energy reservoir for the glucose cycle. .................................................................................................................................. Answer Glycogen is the main energy storage material in animals and animals store excess glucose as glycogen. Also, Glycogen its a large molecule,so it can store lots of energy.
List two polysaccharides used to store energy?
Polysaccharides are carbohydrates composed of several sugar molecules that are chemically bonded together. Two polysaccharides that are used to store energy are glycogen and starch.
Does starch provide energy for the animals?
starch is the store of sugar in plants wheras glycogen is the store of sugar in animals. So quite simply the answer would be no animal cells do not contain starch but they do have there own form of it.
Why is it advantage for these birds to store energy as fat rather than as glycogen?
Fat and glycogen have different chemical properties. Fat contains more energy for mass than sugars. For birds, who need to be very light to remain aerodynamic, storing a vast majority of the energy as fat is much more efficient.
Humans store carbohydrate energy as?
glycogen
Do chloroplast have glycogen granules?
No, they do not. Only animal cells have glycogen granule to store energy.
What are the two polysaccharides used to store energy?
glycogen and starch are the two polysaccharides used to store energy
What stores energy in muscle?
Muscles do store a form of glycogen for energy conversion.
If Glycogen used to store energy in the liver and muscle tissue is an example of which type of molecule?
Carbohydrate
What form do Vertebrates store energy?
# glycogen # fat
Humans store energy for short term use as?
glycogen
What molecule is used to store energy for living things?
Glycogen
What polymer that used to store energy in animals and fungi?
Glycogen.
The liver store glucose in what form?
Glycogen is stored in the liver and muscles, and is second to fats as long-term energy storage.
