glycogen
|

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Plants store carbohydrates in long polysaccharides chains called starch, while animals store carbohydrates as the molecule glycogen. These large polysaccharides contain many chemical bonds and therefore store a lot of chemical energy.
Detailed explanation-2: -Therefore, starch and glycogen are the storage form of carbohydrates in plants and animals.
Detailed explanation-3: -Starch is another plant polysaccharide. Plants produce starch to store energy, but it’s also an important source of energy for organisms that eat those plants. Starch is made of alpha-glucose monomers, where the OH group on carbon one points down.
