Cellulose, starch, and glycogen are all types of carbohydrates but serve different purposes. Cellulose is found in plant cell walls and gives plants their structure; humans can’t digest it, so it helps with digestion as fiber. Starch is how plants store energy, and we get energy from it when we eat foods like potatoes and bread because our bodies break it down into glucose. Glycogen is how animals, including humans, store energy in the liver and muscles; it’s our quick energy reserve that we use when we need an energy boost.
Plants store excess carbohydrates as and animals store excess carbohydrates as .
