A phospholipid is a lipid made of a phosphate group with two fatty acids.
A second messenger is a molecule inside cells that acts to transmit signals from a receptor to a target.

The plant
cells vacuole is larger compared to the animals cells' because the plants
vacuoles takes up 90% of the cells volumes. Vacuole stores food for the
organism. In this case since, plants manufacture their own food, it is
necessary for it to have a large storage space or a large vacuole.
The difference between active and passive cellular transport is that active transport requires energy for the ions and molecules to move across the cell membrane whereas passive cellular transport does not an energy input.
Answer:
<u>Starch</u> is the storage form of glucose (energy) in plants and the glucose molecules are linked by alpha 1,4 glycosidic linkage.
<u>Cellulose </u>is a structural component of the plant cell wall and glucose molecules are linked by beta 1,4 glycosidic linkage.
<u>Glycogen</u> is the storage form of glucose (energy) in animals and glucose molecules are linked by alpha 1,6 glycosidic linkage.
Explanation:
All of these sugars are polysaccaride sugars containing large number of glucose subunits.
Starch is a polysaccharide extracted from agricultural raw materials. It contains amylose and amylopectin. Amylose is an un-branched chain polymer of D-glucose units while amylopectin is a branched chain polymer of D-glucose units.
Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in animals, It is stored in muscles and liver and it is a branched polysaccaride.
Cellulose is the storage form of glucose in plants and leaves.
