Question

Glycogen is a polymer in animal tissues which stores extra sugar molecules until the animal needs them. What is the name
of the molecule found in plants that functions similarly?
O A. Glucose
O B. Cellulose
O C. Starch
O D. Lipids

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Starch

Explanation:

Functionally, both starch and glycogen are polysaccharide storage molecules for energy and both are intended to provide a supply for later use.

A. Glucose is incorrect because it is short term energy, in both plants and animals and is also a monosaccharide.

B. Cellulose is incorrect because, despite being a polysaccharide, it is mainly used for structure and support.

D. Lipids is incorrect because they store energy but it is for fat energy, not sugar. Lipids also have other uses such as structure and signaling, and insulation.

Answer 2

starch is the correct answer i think.
