So the plant has a store of energy when it can't gather enough glucose to support itself. Starch is insoluble so it can be stored within the plant easily and it can be converted back into glucose quite quickly using enzymes.
However, the body can store only small quantities of glucose. A total of about 20 grams of glucose are dissolved in the extracellular fluid of an adult. To meet the energy needs between meals and while sleeping the body stores glucose as glycogen or fatty acids. Adipose, muscle and liver cells are the primary sites of energy storage. Adipose can use glucose to synthesize fatty acids, and triglycerides.
