In humans carbohydrates which get stored in the body and can be used as an energy source in the future are termed as storage carbohydrates.
Glycogen is the main type of storage (large volumes of this are found in the liver). Alpha glucose bonds between carbon atoms 1 and 4 forming a glyosidic bond which is formed via a condensation reaction. Glycogen is a highly branched carbohydrate to provide maximum storage for future use. Branches of the glycogen can be 'cleaved off' via hydrolysis reactions (introduction of water) when the body needs ATP energy from respiration.
Animals store carbohydrates as glycogen in their liver and muscles. Glycogen is a complex molecule made up of many glucose units linked together, which can be broken down into glucose when needed for energy.
No, carbohydrates are stored differently in plants and animals. In plants, carbohydrates are stored in the form of starch, while in animals, carbohydrates are stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles.
No, plants do not store glycogen. Instead, plants store carbohydrates in the form of starch, which is the primary energy reserve for plants. Glycogen is primarily found in animals, particularly in the liver and muscles, where it serves as a form of energy storage.
Plants store energy in the form of carbohydrates through photosynthesis. When animals eat plants, they break down these carbohydrates through cellular respiration to release the stored energy for their own use.
starch is the store of sugar in plants wheras glycogen is the store of sugar in animals. So quite simply the answer would be no animal cells do not contain starch but they do have there own form of it.
No.

Animals store carbohydrates as glycogen in their liver and muscles. Glycogen is a complex molecule made up of many glucose units linked together, which can be broken down into glucose when needed for energy.
Insects store carbohydrates as starch. Other animals and plants do the same thing since the starch can become different kinds of saccharides.
Glycogen same as the animals kingdom
As they store a lot more energy, weight for weight.
Carbohydrates get and store energy in your cells.
Animas need carbohydrates for energy.
Excess carbohydrates are stored as fat.
Cells and carbohydrates are the two nutrients which store energy.
From their food
No, carbohydrates are stored differently in plants and animals. In plants, carbohydrates are stored in the form of starch, while in animals, carbohydrates are stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles.
