BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Plants store carbohydrates in long polysaccharides chains called starch, while animals store carbohydrates as the molecule glycogen. These large polysaccharides contain many chemical bonds and therefore store a lot of chemical energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrates are stored in the form of starch in plants, while in animals, it is stored in the form of glycogen.

Detailed explanation-3: -Excess carbohydrates are converted into sugars like glycogen and stored in the body. Thus, glycogen is the storage form of glucose in animals and humans which is analogous to the starch in plants. Glycogen is synthesised and stored mainly in the liver and the muscles.

Detailed explanation-4: -Storage. In some plants, starch is stored in cell organelles called amyloplasts. Some plant roots and embryos, in the form of seeds and fruit, also serve as storage units for starch. Cells in plant leaves produce starch in the presence of sunlight.

Detailed explanation-5: -Animals store carbohydrates in the liver and the muscles. Plants store carbohydrates in their roots, leaves, and seeds.
