NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore, starch and glycogen are the storage form of carbohydrates in plants and animals.

Detailed explanation-2: -Animals can make use of the sugars provided by the plants in their own cellular energy factories, the mitochondria. These energy factories produce a versatile energy currency in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This high-energy molecule stores the energy we need to do just about everything we do.

Detailed explanation-3: -Likewise, plants capture and store the energy they derive from light during photosynthesis in ATP molecules. ATP is a nucleotide consisting of an adenine base attached to a ribose sugar, which is attached to three phosphate groups.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glycogen-A branched polysaccharide which is an important long-term energy storage compound in animals.

Detailed explanation-5: -The molecule that plant cells use for long-term energy storage is starch. Starch is a polysaccharide, meaning it is polymer of many sugar molecules linked together. Starch is created when cells link glucose together in long chains.
