Storage forms of glucose in living things include . a. glycogen and starch b. maltose and sucrose c. fibers and disaccharides d. fats and lactose e. phytates and viscous fibers

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.
