Lipoprotein lipase is what promotes the fat storage in adipocytes. This is an enzyme that is water-soluble and is in charge of hydrolyzing the lipoprotein's triglycerides.

Is known to promote fat storage in adipocytes?
Lipoprotein lipase
What is known to promote fat storage in adipocytes?
Lipoprotein lipase
Cells that store fat are called?
Adipocytes [fat cells] (and adipose tissues) store fat.
What is the enzyme that resides on the surface of fat cells and promotes fat storage?
thyroxine
Can adipocytes get larger?
Adipocytes do get larger. Actually when animals including humans get fat they do not elevate the number of adipocytes in their body they just have larger adipocytes. Adipocytes do not multiply in an adult body they just get larger or they shrink according to how much fat they store.
What kind of cells store fats?
an 'Adipocyte' (fat cell), sometimes simply called adipose, are cells that specialise in fat storage. adipose tissue is a mainly made up of adipocytes. that is why adipose tissue is often referred to as fatty tissue, because the adipose tissue is made up of adipocytes which have fat stored in them. when you hear the word adipose its generally referring to fat, and remember lipid is another word for fat. eg : if something is lipid soluble, it means that it is fat soluble (able to disolve in fats/lipids). so i believe the answer to your question is adipocytes.
Which of the following is not a function fat performs for the body?
Energy storage is not a function that fat performs for the body. Fat serves as a source of energy, insulation, and protection for vital organs.
Does growth hormone cause fat accumulation within adipocytes?
No.
If mature adipocytes do not divide how can adults gain weight?
Adipocytes contain a fat-filled vacuole that can fill or empty, causing the cell to gain or lose volume.
How is weight gain accomplished with adipocytes?
The amount of stored fat into the cell increases.
Where are fats stood in the body?
Fat cells known as adipocytes, often in the liver.
What organelle contain an adipocyte or fat cell?
Maybe the same as a typical cell, but being a fat storage, the mitochondria should be lesser and it should have a larger cytoplasm to store all those lipids...
