Starch
B
Proteins
C
Glycogen
D
Chitin
Answer
Glycogen
Explanation
Solution
Glycogen, also known as animal starch, is the chief polysaccharide store of animal cells and most of the fungi {though food is also stored as oil globules in some fungi).
Starch is a complex water insoluble polysaccharide carbohydrate chiefly found in green plants as their principal energy (food) source.
Glucose is the most widely distributed hexose sugar. It is an aldohexose reducing sugar. It is found in blood muscles and brain and works as energy fuel.
Sucrose is a non-reducing disaccharide consists of one glucose and one fructose molecules. It is one of the abundant transport sugar in plants.
