BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -They are stored as starch and glycogen form in plants and animals. The polymeric carbohydrate starch, also known as amylum, is made up of multiple glucose units joined by glycosidic connections. Most green plants generate this polysaccharide to store energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Starch is a complex polysaccharide containing more than six glucose molecules bonded together and comprises a major storage form of energy in plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -During the night, when photosynthesis is not possible, plants must rely on stored reserves of carbohydrates built up during the previous day. In many plants, this carbohydrate is stored in chloroplastic starch granules which are degraded during the night to produce sugars.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plants store energy in starches essentially because they lack the enzymes to break down fats for energy. Animals on the other hand are able to digest fats, proteins, and starch for energy which means we can use any of them for energy storage.
