Fat is not a cell, fat is molecule. In fact, cell membranes (a cell's barrier to the outside world) is made up of fat molecules. Molecularly, fats can range from quite small, to very long. Triglycerides, for example, have three carbon tails that can all be up to 15 carbons long, which is fairly long chain.

How is a fat cell specialised?
A fat cell, or adipocyte, is specialized in storing energy in the form of triglycerides. It contains a large lipid droplet in the cytoplasm, which can expand in size to store excess energy. Fat cells also secrete hormones that regulate metabolism and appetite.
Fat cell How is it adapted to its cell function?
-They have very little cytoplasm which gives it room to store fat -They have very few mitochondria (parts of the cell where respiration happens to produce energy) as they use very little energy -They can expand 1000 times larger from their normal size as it fills with fat Hope you find it useful
Is a fat cell a prokaryotic or a eukaryotic cell?
A fat cell is a eukaryotic cell. All of the cells in a eukaryotic organism are eukaryotic.
What is the size of animal cell?
* well it depends on what can of cell i know that it is a animal cell but not every body cell is not the same size. * well it depends on what can of cell i know that it is a animal cell but not every body cell is not the same size.
A single fat cell is called an?
adipocyte
Can a fat cell expand up to 1000 times its size?
Yes, a fat cell can expand significantly, but not typically up to 1000 times its size. The size to which a fat cell can expand will vary depending on factors such as genetics, diet, and lifestyle choices.

How does the structure of the fat cell help with its function?
A fat cell is a round cell. The structure of the fat cell that helps the cell function is the shape allows the fat cell to accumulate a lot of lipids.
Behavior of fat cells?
The size of fat cells are larger in obese people than in normal weight people. The storage capacity for fat depends on both the cell numbers and cell size. The number increases several fold during the growth years and tapers off when adult status is reached.
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.
Can you have a pic of a fat cell?
Yes, the yolk of an egg is a large or "fat" cell.
What is the function fat cell?
A fat cell stores energy for later use.

Would oxygen particles enter a cell through diffusion more likely than fat particles?
Yes, oxygen particles would enter a cell through diffusion more readily than fat particles due to their smaller size and higher solubility in the cell membrane. Fat particles are larger and less likely to pass through the cell membrane via simple diffusion.
What do fat cell do?
They store fat. as simple as that
Correct name of a fat cell?
Adipocyte
Is there just 1 fat cell?
Yes there is indeed only one type of fat /cartilage cell.
