This theory states that people are born with a certain number of fats cells that never increases during our lifetimes, they only get bigger as we gain weight or shrink as we lose weight.

This is generally true, but fat cells can replicate and have been known to do so during infancy, pregnancy and possibly others times.

In reality this doesn't really matter because we know they can shrink and do in times of calorie deficit

Which instrument was used in the 18th and 19th centuries and helped scientists develop the cell theory?

The microscope was the instrument used in the 18th and 19th centuries that helped scientists develop the cell theory. Scientists such as Robert Hooke and Anton van Leeuwenhoek were able to observe microscopic structures for the first time, leading to the discovery of cells and the development of the cell theory.


What are the function of fat in the body?

Fat is use as energy storage in our body. It is a major component part of our cells, our brain and neural system are made of fat so as the cell wall. Fat is hydrophobic and the body use it to cover our skin prevent evaporation loss of water.


Which scientific theory resulted most directly from the invention of the optical microscope?

The cell theory resulted most directly from the invention of the optical microscope. As scientists were able to observe cells for the first time, they contributed to the understanding that cells are the basic building blocks of all living organisms. This marked a major advancement in biology and laid the foundation for modern cellular biology.


What stores energy and provides thermal insulation in the cell?

In cells, fat molecules store energy by being broken down through a process called cellular respiration. Additionally, adipose tissue, which contains fat cells, provides thermal insulation by reducing heat loss from the body.


Whats the difference between cellular clock theory and free-redical theory?

Cellular clock theory believes that our cells regenerate a finite number of times (commonly believed to be 75-80). Free-radical theory believes that oxidized molecules (free radicals) attack healthy cells. Both are cell related and both very likely play a role.
