Storage fats primarily accumulate in adipose tissue, which is found throughout the body, particularly beneath the skin (subcutaneous fat) and around internal organs (visceral fat). This fat serves as an energy reserve and plays a role in insulation and cushioning. Additionally, small amounts of fat can also be stored in muscles and the liver. Accumulation patterns can vary based on genetics, diet, and lifestyle factors.
What else can I help you with?
What is energy storage nutrient?
That has to be the fat cells.
Why does Trans fats accumulate in your body?
because we may not produce enzymes able to metabolize these molecules
Why is fat a good storage product?
Fats makes you stronger.
What large molecules in living things are fats and used as energy storage?
Proteins
What type of food has the greatest storage capacity of calories per gram?
Fats.
Is total body fat comprised of essential and storage body fats?
True
What type of organic compound provides the best energy storage?
Carbohydrates function in short-term energy storage (such as sugar) and as intermediate-term energy storage (starch for plants and glycogen for animals). Fats and oils function in long-term energy storage. Fats yield 9.3 Kcal/gm, while carbohydrates yield 3.79 Kcal/gm. Fats thus store six times as much energy as glycogen.
What is used for insulation and storage of energy in the body?
no, proteins are not. the answer would be lipids (otherwise known as fats and oils)
If all fats are lipids why aren't all lipids fats?
While all fats are lipids, not all lipids are fats. Lipids encompass a wider category that includes fats, as well as molecules like phospholipids, steroids, and waxes. Fats specifically refer to lipids that are solid at room temperature and primarily function as energy storage molecules in organisms.
A large nonpolar organic molecule including fats and steroids?
Lipids are large nonpolar organic molecules that include fats and steroids. They are essential for energy storage, cell membrane structure, and hormone production in the body. Fats provide long-term energy storage, while steroids serve as signaling molecules and are involved in various physiological processes.
Do saturated fats contribute to atherosclerosis?
Yes, consuming a diet high in saturated fats has been linked to an increased risk of atherosclerosis. Saturated fats can lead to elevated levels of LDL cholesterol, which can accumulate in the arteries and contribute to the development of atherosclerotic plaques. It is recommended to limit intake of saturated fats to reduce the risk of atherosclerosis.
Fats are a type of what kind of biomolecules?
Fats are classified as lipids.
