The answer is: Glucose

Explanation for each option:

  • Starch: This is the storage carbohydrate found in plants, not animals. It is incorrect for animal tissues.

  • Oxygen: Oxygen is a gas essential for respiration but is not a carbohydrate. It is incorrect.

  • Cellulose: This is a structural carbohydrate found in the cell walls of plants. Animals do not use cellulose as a storage carbohydrate. It is incorrect.

  • Glucose: While glucose is a simple sugar and not a storage form, the correct storage carbohydrate in animal tissues is glycogen, which is a polymer of glucose. However, since glycogen is not listed, glucose is the closest correct option.

  • I DON'T KNOW YET: This is not an answer to the question.

Summary: The correct storage carbohydrate in animal tissues is glycogen, which is composed of glucose units. However, given the options, glucose is the closest correct choice.
