In a cell, both starch and glycogen do not dissolve in water which is why they both are used for storage of energy. Whereas if glucose was stored in a cell as free molecules, the glucose would dissolve and reduce the water potential, not store the glucose.

Why is glucose not very good for storing in a leaf?
it is not very good because it can make the plant be full and the process of crugel wont work . the process of ceugel can also stop photosynthesis
Which of these substances is the storage form of glucose?
Glycogen is the storage form for animals, starch for plants.
What hormone promotes storage of glucose by the liver?
Insulin
What are the storage forms of carbohydrates found in animals?
Glycogen and Glucose.
What is the storage molecule made by glucose in plants?
Starch. Plants use the excess glucose to form starch molecules
Why starch is a good storage compound in plant?
Starch is insoluble in water and so can be used as a storage device for glucose; plants convert the spare glucose into starch then store it.
Why is glucose not very good for storing in a leaf?
it is not very good because it can make the plant be full and the process of crugel wont work . the process of ceugel can also stop photosynthesis
What is the storage molecule for surplus glucose made by photosynthesis?
The principle storage molecule for glucose in plants is starch . The principle storage molecule for glucose in animal cells is glycogen.
What are the structural differences of glycogen and starch?
Glycogen is storage form of glucose in animals .Starch is the storage form of glucose in plants
Glycogen to glucose?
Glycogen is a storage of energy within the body, and glucose is the primary form of energy. So for example, if your body requires glucose to survive, when it has plentiful amounts. Your body converts glucose into glycogen for storage. However, if your body has low amount of glucose within it. Your body will rely on the storage of glycogen to break down into its components and use the glucose for fuel.
The storage form of glucose is called?
photosynthesis
Glycogen is the storage form of what in animals?
glucose
What is the primary storage form of carbohydrates?
glucose
Which carbohydrate is glucose changed into for storage?
Starch
What promotes the storage of glucose as glycogen?
Insulin
Which of these substances is the storage form of glucose?
Glycogen is the storage form for animals, starch for plants.
The Storage form of glucose in muscles is called?
Glucose in animals is stored as glycogen. Glycogen is a polymer of glucose subunits attached with alpha (1-4) glycosidic linkages to link the individual glucose molecules, and alpha (1-6) linkages to create branch points for larger branched molecules. It is very similar to plant's energy reserve macromolecule - starch.
