A Correct answer
Explanation

Animals store glucose as glycogen in liver and muscle tissue for short-term energy needs. The liver maintains blood glucose levels for the whole body, while muscles keep glycogen for their own use during exercise. Plants store energy as starch, and while fat is also an energy reserve, glycogen is the primary storage form in liver and muscles.
