Starch and Glycogen, both are made of glucose, they are infact polymers of glucose. Starch is stored in plants as food reserve. Starch is present in two forms- Amylose- which is linear chain of glucose and Amylopectin is a branched chain polymer of glucose. Glycogen is found in animals and is stored in liver.
