The storage form of carbohydrates in protoctists is typically starch, similar to plants. Some protoctists, such as certain algae, may also store carbohydrates as other polysaccharides like laminarin or paramylon. These storage forms serve as energy reserves that can be utilized when needed for growth and metabolism.
No, glucose is a monosaccharide and a simple form of carbohydrate, not a storage form. Carbohydrates are stored in the body as glycogen, a polysaccharide made up of glucose molecules linked together.
Starch is the storage form of carbohydrates in plants. In contrast, glycogen is the storage form of carbohydrates in animals.
Protoctists are eukaryotic organisms that do not fit into the plant, animal, or fungi kingdoms. They are typically single-celled but can also form colonies. Many protoctists are motile and have various modes of reproduction.
Carbohydrates are stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles, and excess carbohydrates can also be converted to fat for long-term storage in adipose tissue.
Lipids (in the form of triglycerides) and carbohydrates (in the form of glycogen) are typically used for long-term energy storage within a cell. Lipids store more energy per gram compared to carbohydrates.
glucose
Source of carbohydrates, and in plants is used as a form of energy storage.

No, glucose is a monosaccharide and a simple form of carbohydrate, not a storage form. Carbohydrates are stored in the body as glycogen, a polysaccharide made up of glucose molecules linked together.
The storage form of carbohydrates is glycogen, proteins are stored as amino acids, and lipids are stored as triglycerides in living organisms.

Glucose (sugar)
Carbohydrates are mainly stored as glycogen.
Source of carbohydrates, and in plants is used as a form of energy storage.
Yes. Starch is a storage form of glucose (which is sugar) found in plants only. And as to sugar, such as maltose in beer, is also one of the carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates are stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles, and excess carbohydrates can also be converted to fat for long-term storage in adipose tissue.
