BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Plants build carbohydrates using light energy from the sun (during the process of photosynthesis), while animals eat plants or other animals to obtain carbohydrates. Plants store carbohydrates in long polysaccharides chains called starch, while animals store carbohydrates as the molecule glycogen.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants store energy in the form of starch, instead of glucose, because starch is insoluble. This means that starch will not effect the water concentration inside cells and also it will not move away from the storage areas within the plant.

Detailed explanation-3: -The process is carried out by plants, algae, and some types of bacteria, which capture energy from sunlight to produce oxygen (O2) and chemical energy stored in glucose (a sugar).

Detailed explanation-4: -Plants store their food in the form of starch in various parts of them. Starch is a polysaccharide of glucose monomers. Glucose residues are linked by glycosidic bonds. This starch can be stored in the leaves, stems, roots, flowers, fruits, and seeds of a plant.

Detailed explanation-5: -The starch is converted to glucose, which is normally used for biochemical energy. Excess glucose is stored as glycogen in liver and muscle tissue to be used when needed. If there is a lot of glycogen available, the muscles will have more biochemical energy to draw on when needed for the long run.
