  1. Animals , including fish do not show starch .

    It is in the form of Glycogen in their bodies =

    Glycogen is a polysaccharide of glucose (Glc) which functions as the primary short term energy storage in animal cells.

    It is made primarily by the liver and the muscles, but can also be made by the brain, uterus, and the v****a.

    ((Glycogen is the analogue of starch, a less branched glucose polymer in plants, and is commonly referred to as animal starch, having a similar structure to amylopectin. ))

    Glycogen is found in the form of granules in the cytosol in many cell types, and plays an important role in the glucose cycle.

    Glycogen forms an energy reserve that can be quickly mobilized to meet a sudden need for glucose.
