What else can I help you with?
The cells of which tissue have a large central fat-filled vacuole?
Adipose tissue cells, also known as adipocytes, possess a large central fat-filled vacuole that stores energy in the form of triglycerides. This unique feature allows them to function as the primary site for energy storage in the body.
Are mature adipose cells highly mitotic?
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."
Why us there a large white area in an adipose cell?
Because it adipose cells stores fat meaning lipids. When the cell stores more fat, the nucleus is pushed away to the side of the cell near the cell membrane which gives the the cells a whitish look.
What is a lipocyte?
A lipocyte is a type of connective tissue cell that stores fat. They are commonly found in adipose tissue throughout the body and play a role in energy storage and metabolism.
What is an organelle?
An organelle is a specialized structure within a cell that performs a specific function to help the cell survive and function properly. Examples of organelles include the nucleus, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum.
What is the function of cell hormones sensitive lipase?
Hydrolyzes triglycerides to provide fatty acids for other cells
What is an ADSC?
An ADSC is an acronym for an adipose-derived stem cell or an adipose-derived stromal cell.
Where is the lipase enzyme found in the cell?
Lipase is found in the organelle called a lysosome.
What is the scientific name for fat cell?
Adipose cell
Does an Adipose fat cell absorb fat?
Yes, that is the job of a fat cell. It is designed to store fat that is called adipose.
What is the major cell in adipose tissue?
Adipocytes are the cells that make up adipose tissue
What cell is in the wrist muscle?
The names of the cells present in the wrist areWhite adipose cellsBrown adipose cellsFibrocytes
Is lipase exo- or endoenzymes?
Lipase is an exoenzyme, which means it acts outside the cell that produces it. It functions to break down lipids into fatty acids and glycerol.
What is the cell type found in adipose tissue?
adipocytes
The cells of which tissue have a large central fat-filled vacuole?
Adipose tissue cells, also known as adipocytes, possess a large central fat-filled vacuole that stores energy in the form of triglycerides. This unique feature allows them to function as the primary site for energy storage in the body.
Why do adipose cells remind people of a ring with a a single jewel?
it is because when viewing the cell in profile under a microscope, they look like a ring with a small jewel. The jewel is the nucleus and other cell components, while the ring is a large lipid drop surrounded by the cell membrane
