"Starch is found in plants, and glycogen is found in animals."

Both starch and glycogen are polymers of glucose used for energy storage; starch (amylose + amylopectin) is in plants, while glycogen is the more highly branched storage polymer in animals. The other options are incorrect: neither is made of fructose, both are polymers, and glycogen is not primarily structural.
