Compare and contrasts the starch cells found in plants with the fat cells found in animals.

How are they similar?

Both starch in plants and fat cells in animals serve as a store of energy. However, fats in animals are generally stored in fat cells (forming the adipose tissue) while starch in plants is stored in the chloroplasts. Also, fats and starch are 2 totally different compounds with different chemical compositions and structures (I won't elaborate on the types of fats and starches in this thread though).
