Answer :

Answer: Option A) glucose and starch

Explanation:

I) Glycogen is the major reserve food in animal cells. It is stored in the liver and muscle of animals.

Glycogen is highly branched and consist of glucose units with α-1, 4-glycosidic linkage. When in need of energy the body stimulates the breakdown of glycogen to raise glucose levels for energy supply.

II) Starch is the major reserve food in plant cells of cereals, legumes, potatoes and other vegetables. Like glycogen, it consists of several glucose units linked by glycosidic linkages.

Answer:

A. glycogen and starch.

Explanation:

Glycogen and starch are complex carbohydrates (polysaccharides) or polymers that are used for both storing energy, and as part of the structural tissues of living organisms.

Example is starch, which is the storage form of glucose used by plants. It is found in granules in their leaves, roots, seeds etc.
