Time management is very much important in IIT JAM. The eduncle test series for IIT JAM Mathematical Statistics helped me a lot in this portion. I am very thankful to the test series I bought from eduncle.

When we go through the hint we can answer the question by saying that it is not only suitable for starch and glycogen to be used as storage products, instead, it is essential. Starch and glycogen are branched polysaccharides. They are made up of glucose units. Thus, they occupy less space and are considered less bulky.

option a,b,c,d explanation- Because glucose is soluble in water and starch is not. This solubility can cause several problems. One is that plants contain a very great deal of water and the glucose, once dissolved in that water, will diffuse away from the storage location and cease to be stored. Another is that the dissolved glucose will create an osmotic potential across the cell membrane, causing more water to enter the cell and bursting it.

Another added advantage is that starch and glycogen can be easily hydrolyzed to glucose whenever required. Further, both the polysaccharides are insoluble in water, unlike glucose which shows high water solubility. Thus, starch is a storage product in plants and glycogen in animals.
