Choose the right answer:This polysaccharide is the storage form of glucose in plants
A
a-Fiber
B
b-Glycogen
C
c-Starch
D
d-Galactose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glucose is stored as polysaccharide, which are starch in plants and glycogen in animals. The animals store glycogen in the liver and muscles. Starch is one among the foremost important dietary sources for citizenry and is additionally one among the most storage polysaccharides of plants.

Detailed explanation-2: -The storage form of glucose in plants is starch. Starch is a polysaccharide. The leaves of a plant make sugar during the process of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Starch occurs in intracellular granules and does not have any function as structure-building molecule in plant cells, but rather functions as a storage polysaccharide. Starch is produced in plant leaves through photosynthesis in the chloroplasts. It is stored in these green plant parts as small granules.

Detailed explanation-4: -In plants, glucose is stored in the form of starch, which can be broken down back into glucose via cellular respiration in order to supply ATP.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cellulose and chitin are both structural polysaccharides that consist of many thousand glucose monomers combined in long fibers. The only difference between the two polysaccharides are the side-chains attached to the carbon rings of the monosaccharides.
