Cells can store energy as starches (long polymer forms of carbohydrates, or sugars) and fats. If you isolate the starch stored by a cell, you would find that a lot of the mass of the isolated starch is actually water. However, if you isolate the fat stored by a cell you would find that very little of the mass of the fat is water. Explain this difference based on the structures or properties of the starch and fat molecules
