The plants store starch as polysaccharide in their plastids.
Plants use various structures such as vacuoles for pigments, plastids for starch and proteins, and oil bodies for storing oils. Vacuoles are large membrane-bound organelles that can store pigments. Plastids, such as chloroplasts and amyloplasts, are responsible for storing starch and proteins. Oil bodies are small organelles that store oils in plant cells.
Yes, polysaccharides store energy in the form of glucose molecules. Examples of polysaccharides that serve as energy storage molecules include glycogen in animals and starch in plants.
The areas in plants that store starch and pigment molecules are organelles. The main organelles are plastids. Chloroplasts are photosynthesizing plastids. Chromoplasts are plastids that store pigments, though some pigments, such as pink, purple and anthocyanins are usually stored in the vacuole of cells. Amyoplasts are plastids that store starches.

Plastids are the main organelles that store these compounds. All plastids are related in origin and many can become other types given the right circumstances. Photosynthesizing plastids are known as chloroplasts (the most commonly known type) Plastids for pigment storage are known as chromoplasts Starch storage plastids are called amyloplasts. However, some pigments in plants, such as the pink/purple/blue anthocyanins are usually stored in the vacuole of the cells.

The most common polysaccharide stored in animal body is glycogen . It is mostly stored in the liver and is converted into glucose when the body requires it .
Yes, polysaccharides store energy in the form of glucose molecules. Examples of polysaccharides that serve as energy storage molecules include glycogen in animals and starch in plants.
Amyloplasts are the type of plastids that primarily store starch. They are found in non-photosynthetic tissues of plants, such as tubers and roots. On the other hand, elaioplasts are specialized plastids that store oils, while proteinoplasts store proteins. Each type of plastid serves a specific storage function in plant cells.
Two polysaccharides that are used to store energy are starch, which is found in plants, and glycogen, which is found in animals. Both polysaccharides serve as a long-term energy storage molecule in their respective organisms.
Two polysaccharides used to store energy are glycogen, found in animals, and starch, found in plants. Glycogen is mainly stored in the liver and muscles in animals, whereas starch is stored in sources like potatoes, grains, and legumes in plants.
