Amino acids are the subunits that make up proteins.
The molecule that plants make to store glucose is called starch. Starch is a polymer made up of glucose units linked together. It serves as a reserve energy source in plants.
Proteins are composed of amino acids. These amino acids are joined together by peptide bonds where the -COOH group and the -NH2 group of two consecutive amino acids bond with the loss of a water molecule. The sequence of the amino acids make up the primary structure of the protein.
The subunits that make up DNA are called nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a sugar molecule, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine).
The subunits that make up polysaccharides are sugars, or monosaccharides. An example of a monosaccharide is glucose, which we need for energy.
Glucose and Galactose make up lactose Glucose and fructose make up sucrose Glucose and glucose make maltose
Starch is composed of two main subunits: amylose and amylopectin. Amylose is a linear chain of glucose molecules bonded by alpha-1,4 glycosidic linkages, while amylopectin is a branched chain with additional alpha-1,6 glycosidic linkages. These subunits of glucose polymers make starch a complex carbohydrate.
Glucose molecules join together in long chains to make cellulose. Multiple glucose molecules are linked by beta (1-4) glycosidic bonds to form the cellulose polymer.

Carbohydrates are made up of glucose subunits . In complex carbohydrates long polymer chains of glucose subunits form the higher structure, they can be "nibbled" from either end by digestion enzymes. The breakdown into glucose is needed for metabolism. Sugar units are called saccharides in chemistry. Starch and cellulose are polysaccharides made from glucose. The difference in starch and cellulose is the manner in which the glucose units are bonded. Humans do not have the enzymes to digest cellulose. Simple sugars consits of small clusters of glucose, fructose and glactose subunits, amongst others that are all structually similar. Lactose found in milk is a carbohydrate sugar made from a glucose and galactose subunit.
For example glucose.
Maltose is formed by a condensation reaction between two glucose molecules, resulting in the removal of a water molecule. The two glucose molecules join together with an α(1→4) glycosidic bond. This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme maltase.
Glucose and glucose monosaccharides join together to form maltose through a condensation reaction, where a water molecule is removed. Maltose is a disaccharide composed of two glucose units linked by an alpha-1,4 glycosidic bond.
proteins are long chains of amino acids
A polymer is a large molecule made up of identical or similar subunits linked together. Examples of polymers include proteins, DNA, and carbohydrates.
It would be more accurate to say that glucose molecules are converted to starch for storage. To make starch, the glucose units join together in a long chain, like beads on a necklace. In order to form the links, each glucose must drop a few atoms so the whole glucose is not present in the starch.
