Muscle cells are specialized for contraction and movement, containing long fibers called myofibrils that enable muscle movement. In contrast, fat cells, also known as adipocytes, are specialized for storing energy in the form of triglycerides. Fat cells have a large central vacuole filled with triglycerides, whereas muscle cells have a more complex structure with multiple nuclei and specialized proteins for movement.
