Starch, glycogen, and cellulose are all forms of glucose. The starch vs. glycogen vs. cellulose difference can be seen in their presence in different types of plants. Starch is found in chlorophyll-rich areas of plants, glycogen is present in non-chlorophyll plants, and cellulose is found in the woody areas of the plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
