Where are fats stored in mammals' body?
-
Oil tissues
-
Adipose tissues
-
Muscles
-
Skin
Correct Answer
A. Adipose tissuesExplanation
Fats are stored in adipose tissues in mammals' bodies. Adipose tissues are specialized connective tissues that store excess energy in the form of fat. These tissues are found throughout the body, particularly in areas such as the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks. When the body requires energy, it can break down the stored fats in adipose tissues to provide fuel. This storage mechanism helps mammals regulate their energy balance and maintain insulation and protection for vital organs.Rate this question:
