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 does a sperm cell need large surface area?
A sperm cell needs a large surface area to maximize contact with the egg cell during fertilization. This allows for efficient transfer of genetic material and increases the chances of successful fertilization.
What adaptations might help a very large cell survive?
The surface area of large cells is very small without an adequate adaptation. Large cells have many cell folds or Crista within their cell membranes and within the cell to maximize cell's surface area which speeds up the process of cellular metabolism.
What does the large surface area of a palisade absorb?
The large surface area of a palisade cell helps to absorb light for photosynthesis. The chloroplasts within the cell can capture more sunlight, leading to increased production of glucose and energy for the plant.
Which type of connective tissue cell has a large vacuole?
The white adipose cells or adipocytes have a large fat vacuole. White adipocytes are found everywhere in the adipose connective tissues.
What cell does lipids make up a large portion of?
adipose tissue cells.
What is an ADSC?
An ADSC is an acronym for an adipose-derived stem cell or an adipose-derived stromal cell.
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.
What are Adipose cell features?
Adipose cells, or adipocytes, are specialized cells that store energy in the form of fat and play a crucial role in metabolism. They have a large lipid droplet that occupies most of the cell's volume, pushing the nucleus and cytoplasm to the periphery. Adipocytes also secrete various hormones and signaling molecules, such as leptin and adiponectin, which are involved in regulating appetite and insulin sensitivity. Additionally, these cells can be classified into white adipose tissue (energy storage) and brown adipose tissue (heat generation).
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
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
What cell is in the wrist muscle?
The names of the cells present in the wrist areWhite adipose cellsBrown adipose cellsFibrocytes
What is the cell type found in adipose tissue?
adipocytes
Why do adipose cells remind people of a ring with a single jewel?
Adipose, or fat cells, remind people of a ring with a jewel on it (or a signet ring), 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.
