Detailed explanation-1: -Animal body stores carbohydrate as glycogen. It is also called animal starch because its structure is similar to amylopectin .
Detailed explanation-2: -Starch or amylum is a polymeric carbohydrate consisting of numerous glucose units joined by -(1→4)-D glycosidic bonds. This polysaccharide is produced by most green plants for energy storage.
Detailed explanation-3: -Glycogen is a form of starch found in animal tissue and is hence called animal starch. Glycogen is a polysaccharide that is physically related to amylopectin with basic alpha-D-Glucose but has a mix of 1, 4 and 1, 6 bonds. Glycogen exists in a small amount (< 1%) in liver and muscle tissue.
Detailed explanation-4: -A polysacchharide which is often called animal starch is Dextrin.
