Answer:

Fats or lipids have many uses in the body. Any food material is stored in the body in the form of Fats. Fats also provide insulation to the body, especially to those animals living in very cold regions. Fats are metabolized to release greater amount of energy than would be normally released by other sources like carbohydrates, etc. They are also important to store certain vitamins like vitamin A,D,E and K which are soluble in fats and insoluble in water.

Fat performs many vital functions in the human body. It sheathes the nerves, allowing conduction to take place; it is synthesised into hormones; it cushions the body; it stores resources. You cannot survive without fat in your body. You would die a quick, and very unpleasant death.
Fat acts as a layer of fat in the body, it is vital to have it because fat is a layer under our skin that keeps us warm, not only does it keep us arm but it also can be used as energy
Fat is used as a reserve energy store.

Excess fat that isn't used up by your body for energy is disposited into fat cells which build up over time, as the amount of excess fat you have increases. Generally the more you eat, the more fat excess you're likely to have.

These reserves are then used by the body, for example if you hadn't eaten and went running, to produce energy for you to do so, your body would use the fat stored in your body which is why if you were to reduce the amount you eat and do the same amount of exercise, you would notice a difference in your body shape over time as the fat is used up in your body.

What is the function of fat cell?

A fat cells primary function is to store fat, quite simply. But recent discoveries show that the fat cell also produce the hormone leptin which decreases appetite. This means that fat cells play a role in food intake as a homeostatic mechanism. Also brown fat cells, which are present in babies and antarctic sea creatures, have an interesting function. The mitochondria in them are slightly modified not to have a specific protein that makes ATP from ADP and Pi using energy from H ions moving through the membrane. Instead these H ions move t via another protein which instead of ATP produces heat directly. And thus brown fat actually produced heat, is not just an insulator.
