glucose
Starch and glycogen are examples of polysaccharides, which are large carbohydrate molecules made up of many sugar units joined together. They serve as energy storage molecules in plants (starch) and animals (glycogen).
The class of compounds formed by joining many simple sugars together is called polysaccharides. They serve as storage molecules (like starch and glycogen) or structural components (like cellulose and chitin) in living organisms.
carbohydrates
When joining individual glucose monomers together to form a polysaccharide like starch or glycogen, a water molecule is removed in a condensation reaction to form a glycosidic bond.
Starch is found potatoes, not Glycogen. Glycogen is the plant equivalent of animal glycogen. A potato has starch but no glycogen; muscle cells have glycogen but no starch. The starch we eat is broken into glucose in the stomach/small intest and then reassembled in the muscle cells as glycogen.

Carbohydrates (e.g., starch, cellulose, or glycogen) whose molecules consist of a number of sugar molecules bonded together.
Glycogen, starch, and cellulose are all large carbohydrate molecules.
humans store the energy from starch as glycogenBoth starch and glycogen are are polymers formed from sugar molecules called glucose and they serve as energy storage.
Carbohydrates are the molecules made of sugar repeats. Starch, cellulose and glycogen are classical example for the same. They can be digested back to the monomers by the enzymes that catalyse the hydrolysis reaction such as cellulase or amylase.
