Detailed explanation-1: -Glucose is stored as polymeric glucan, in animals as glycogen and in plants as starch.

Detailed explanation-2: -After a meal, glucose enters the liver and levels of blood glucose rise. This excess glucose is dealt with by glycogenesis in which the liver converts glucose into glycogen for storage. The glucose that is not stored is used to produce energy by a process called glycolysis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants cannot store glucose as it is, but store in the form of starch because glucose is insoluble in water.

Detailed explanation-4: -Starch is formed to store excess glucose formed during photosynthesis.
