Both Algae and plants store their food in the form of glycogen. Is this true?

No, that is not true:
"All other major groups of organisms store food in the form of glycogen and other complex sugars, and/or lipids."
The correct answer is starch
although I am almost sure that protein would another good answer.
Something that would not be a good answer though would be glycogen, glucose, and cellulose
Hope that helps!!

What is the evidence that land plants evolved from green algae?
Many scientists believe that ancient green algae evolved into land plants. The chloroplasts present in green algae are the same as those of land plants. In addition, green algae have cell walls of similar composition to land plants; both store food, such as starch, in the same manner. Most green algae live in freshwater habitats with highly variable conditions. The ongoing changes in their environment have made them highly adaptable.what-evidence-has-led-scientists-to-believe-land-plants-evolved-from-green-algae
What molecule do plants use to store energy?
Both plants and animals store chemical energy in a nucleotide called ATP (Adenosine-TriPhosphate). This nucleotide acts as a coenzyme for different processes in cells when it releases energy by turning into ADP (adenosine Diphosphate).
What is true of both nonvascular plants an seedless vascular plants?
Nonvascular plants and seedless vascular plants are both land plants that evolved from green algae. Both types also rely on water to be able to reproduce.
How are plants and green algae alike?
Algae are simple plants. The biggest similarity with more 'regular' lants is that they both contain chlorophyll Green algae and plants are sister taxon, that is, they share a common ancestor. For this reason, they both have double membrane bound plastids that contain chlorophyll a and b. Their main storage compound is starch, and they use cellulose to build their cell walls. There are other similarities involving the arrangement of microtubules associated with the flagella; however, these can only be seen using a transmission electron microscope.
What is the kingdom of red algae?
The 5 kingdoms are: Fungi, Plantae, Protoctista, Prokaryotae, & Animalia. Algae have features of both plants and animals, but they are generally grouped in the plantae kingdom.
What is shared between algae and seed plants?
Both algae and seed plants have cells with chloroplasts.
What do plants and green algae have the same types of?
Plants and green algae both have the same types of organelles. This is because they both are able to create their own food.
Is carbhydrates storage in both plants and animals?
Plants store carbohydrates as sugars and starches...cellulose is also a complex structural sugar. Animals store glycogen (a type of complexed sugar) in the liver and muscles for fast energy and convert excess carbohydrate to 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.

Why is glucose not very good for storage?
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.
What is the common feature of starch and glycogen?
They are both made up of chains of glucose molecules, with glycogen being the form for animals and starch being the form for plants.
What do plants and Algae both use to grow?
photosynthesis
Do green algae and plants have similar types of chlorophyll?
Plants and green algae both have the same types of organelles. This is because they both are able to create their own food.
What provides short-term energy storage for animals?
Glucose is a key factor in short-term energy storage for both Plants and Animals.
What characteristics do green algae share with plants?
They share their photosynthetic pigments and their cell wall composition.
Are carbohydrates stored similarly in both plants and animals?
No - they are stored in different forms. The main storage carbohydrate in plants is starch, and in animals it is glycogen.
