  • Question
  • In which one of the following types of connective tissues in animals does fat get stored?


  • Options
  • A. Adipocyte
  • B. Chondrocyte
  • C. Osteocyte
  • D. Reticulocyte

  • Correct Answer
  • Adipocyte 

    Explanation

    Adipocytes are the major source of leptin production, and plasma leptin concentrations directly correlate with the amount of total body fat.

    Adipocytes are highly specialized cells that play a crucial role in the energy balance of most vertebrates.

    Adipocytes convert excess energy to tri-acylglycerol and deposit it during feeding in preparation for periods of food deprivation.

    Adipocytes may become enlarged by increased fat storage
