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).
Carbohydrates are the principal energy storage molecules in plants.
Animals also store carbohydrates as a quick energy source. In the liver and muscles of humans carbohydrates are stored as glycogen (animal starch).
Both plants and animals use carbohydrates to store short-term and intermediate-term energy. However, plants use a type of carbohydrate called starch to store their energy while animals use a glucose polymer called Glycogen. For long-term energy storage, animals use lipids (fats) and plants use a nucleotide called adenosine triphosphate, ATP for short.
Short answer:
Plants short term: starch
Plants long term: ATP
Animals short term: Glycogen
Animals long term: lipids (fat)
ATP stores the energy is both plants and animals
Plants use starch to store their energy. Animals use glycogen.
If I could answer it why the hell would I ask it
That would be the mitochondrion which can be found in both plant cells and animal cells. The only difference is that in an animal cell it produces ATP (energy).
Yes - plants store energy in the form of starch.
Planst store their energy in the mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, or nucleus.
a bulb e.g. onion, a corm e.g. rhubarb,
ATP is a form of energy storing in living cells. When a cell is receive more energy than it needs, by a series of chemical reactions, that surplus of energy is store in molecules for later use.
Plants and some algae get their energy from the Sun. Most other living beings (including us humans) get their energy from plants. Energy is stored as chemical energy, which we use. Plants use chemical energy, too, as energy storage.Plants and some algae get their energy from the Sun. Most other living beings (including us humans) get their energy from plants.

Plants store energy in the form of Glucose
Plants store glucose for later use.
7% energy plants use. I don't know how much they store though.
In chemical bonds, in the molecule that we call Sugar.
Plants use the ribosomes in their cells to store energy not needed at that time.
This chemical is glucose.
Also known as ATP and is the basic molecule in which cells store and use energy.
No. They use ATP as an energy source (ADP is left over after the energy is used). There is no storage there. Animals use fat to store energy, plants use starch.
Plants store fats in their seeds. The plants use this fat for energy or it may end up being stored as starch.

Yes - plants store energy in the form of starch.
Mostly starch .
