Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Starch is a complex carbohydrate polymer that is used by cells for long-term storage and release of energy for its functions. However, glucose is used by cells for quick release of energy. Therefore, compared to glucose, starch does not have the characteristic of being used for quick release of energy. It can also provide structure for cells that contain it, similar to glucose.
