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

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
