Fat cells, also known as adipocytes, have two types of enzymes, both of which are affected by insulin. The names of these two enzymes are pyruvate dehydrogenase and acetyl-CoA carboxylase.

What is the meaning of fat necrosis?

The meaning of fat necrosis can be described as a form of premature death of cells, characterised by the action upon fat by certain enzymes. Fat necrosis is non-cancerous.


What cells are stored in yellow bone marrow?

Yellow bone marrow stores adipose (fat) cells and serves as a storage site for triglycerides. It can also contain some hematopoietic (blood-forming) stem cells that can differentiate into various blood cell types when needed by the body.


Do fat cells have nerve cells?

Fat cells do not have nerve cells because they are primarily made up of adipocytes, which are specialized cells for storing fat. Nerve cells, on the other hand, are responsible for transmitting signals throughout the body and are not typically found within fat tissue.


What is the digestive juice which has no enzymes?

Bile. It's produced in the Gall Bladder and is made of dead red blood cells. It emulsifies fat.


How are fat cells and starch cell similar?

Fat cells and starch cells are both storage cells in the body. Fat cells store energy in the form of triglycerides, while starch cells store energy in the form of glucose. Both types of cells can expand and shrink based on energy needs.


What is the function of fat molecule?

Two major types of fat exists: brown fat and white fat. The two types have different functions carried out by two distinct types of cells (brown fat cells and white fat cells). Brown fat cells are specialised heat producers, while white fat cells store and release fats.


What are the three types of stem cells in adults?

The three types of stem cells in adults are hematopoietic stem cells (found in bone marrow and produce blood cells), mesenchymal stem cells (found in various tissues like bone marrow and fat, can differentiate into bone, cartilage, and fat cells), and neural stem cells (found in the brain and spinal cord, can differentiate into neurons and supporting cells).


What do enzymes digest fat into?

Fatty acids and glycerol


Would you expect a fat and a sugar molecule to be acted upon by the same enzyme?

No, typically fat molecules are broken down by lipase enzymes, while sugar molecules are broken down by amylase or sucrase enzymes. Each enzyme is specialized to break down specific types of molecules based on their chemical structure.


Are enzymes fat?

No, most enzymes are proteins, some of which are "decorated" with sugars. A few enzymes are composed of RNA.


Fat may be hydrolyzed to form fatty acid and?

glycerol through a process called lipolysis, which involves the breakdown of triglycerides by enzymes. This reaction allows the body to release stored energy from fat cells for use by cells as fuel or for metabolic processes.


What is cause of pancreas problems in dogs?

As in most mammals, in the dog the pancreas is a digestive organ. The pancreas has two intermingled types of cells - exocrine cells and endocrine cells. The exocrine cells make digestive enzymes that are excreted into the small intestine when food moves out of the stomach. The endocrine cells make insulin and a few other hormones; these are secreted into the blood stream when blood sugar increases.
