Detailed explanation-1: -Carbohydrates are produced as monosaccharides (glucose or fructose) in the process of photosynthesis. Glucose is stored as polysaccharide-starch in plants and glycogen in animals. The animals store glycogen in liver and muscles.
Detailed explanation-2: -While plants store extra glucose as starch, animals-including humans-store glucose in a molecule called glycogen. Like starch, glycogen is made up of many glucose molecules bonded together. Glycogen differs from starch in being a more highly branched molecule.
Detailed explanation-3: -Glucose is stored as polymeric glucan, in animals as glycogen and in plants as starch.
Detailed explanation-4: -Animals store excess sugar in the form of glycogen. Plants store excess sugar in the form of starch. Both glycogen and starch are polysaccharides. Glycogen is stored in animals in the liver and skeletal muscles.
