Animal cells store food in the form of glycogen. The excess of glucose in the blood is converted to glycogen in the muscle cells. The process of formation of glycogen is known as glycogenesis. During the muscle exercise when extra energy is needed the glycogen is broken down to glucose and channelized into the bloodstream by glycogenolysis.Starch is storage food material of plant cells. Paramylum is reserve food material of Euglena. Glucose is used as energy source by most of the cells, but it is not stored as reserve food by any types of cells.
