Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Starches are large, branched polymers of glucose that store energy for plants. Likewise, glycogen is a glucose polymer that is stored by animal cells for energy. Animals store glucose in the form of glycogen.
Detailed explanation-2: -Starch (a polymer of glucose) is used as a storage polysaccharide in plants, being found in the form of both amylose and the branched amylopectin. In animals, the structurally similar glucose polymer is the more densely branched glycogen, sometimes called “animal starch".
