No. Based on the wording of your question you are working on an anato/Physio I tissue unit quiz. You will recall that adipose tissue is generally a large cell with a fat storage area with its nucleus pushed to the side. It's primary function is to provide protection, store fat and provide insulation.
The correct answer to your quiz is "its primary function is nutrient storage."

Cells that store fat are called?
Adipocytes [fat cells] (and adipose tissues) store fat.
How would you distinguish human mitotic cells from human meiotic cells?
By counting the number of daughter cells resulting from mitotic and meiotic division
What is a mitotic lesion?
A mitotic lesion is one in which there is an increased rate of mitosis in cells. This can be indicative of cancer where there is abnormal proliferation of cells.

Cells that undergo mitotic division but not meiotic division are called?
somatic cells
How can adults gain weight as fat since mature adipose cells don't divide?
Mature adipose cells do not divide to make more cells, but they can get larger. Liposuction removes adipose cells so excessive fat cannot be regained in that area.
Which tissue types remain highly mitotic throughout life and why?
The bone marrow remains highly mitotic through out the life. You need all the blood cells through out the life. The number of red blood cells is very high.
What type of tissue that stores lipid molecules?

Is adipose a tendon?
No, adipose is another type of connective tissue, which is fat cells.
Which one has less mitochondria digestive or adipose cells?
Adipose cells most certainly. Fat storage cells do not meed the same amount of energy as digestive cells do.
