Starch is the internal energy reserve in plants. in animals we have a similar type of storing energy called glycogen but not as same as in the plants glycogen they are stored form of energy in animal.
niki26:
starch and glycogen both are polysaccharides and there units are glucose but difference in the branching and unit level. when we talk about energy then both the form produce similar amount of kilocalories.

Hello Dear

Nope!
The energy reserves in plants are way different than the reserves in animals
______________________________________________________________
The plants reserves are Starch
Starch is storage polysaccharide
It is made up of (200-2000) Glucose unit
It has α(1-4) linkage in helix ring and
α(1-6 ) linkage in branch structure
It gives Blue - black color in iodine
___________________________________________________________
Animals reserves are called glycogen :
Glycogen is also a storage polysaccharide
made up of (5000-30000) glucose unit
it has α(1-4 ) linkage in chain
and α(1-6 ) linkage in branch structure
It gives reddish color in iodine
