Most Energy Storage in the Body is Accomplished by Which

Question

Most energy storage in the body is accomplished by which of the following cells?
A) adipocytes
B) melanocytes
C) macrophages
D) fibroblasts
E) lymphocytes

Accepted Answer

Adipocytes, also known as fat cells, are responsible for most energy storage in the body. They store excess fats from the diet as triglycerides and can release them as a source of energy when needed. Melanocytes produce pigment and have no role in energy storage. Macrophages are immune cells that engulf and digest foreign substances or cellular debris. Fibroblasts produce and organize the extracellular matrix of connective tissues. Lymphocytes are also immune cells that coordinate the immune response.
