an 'Adipocyte' (fat cell), sometimes simply called adipose, are cells that specialise in fat storage. adipose tissue is a mainly made up of adipocytes. that is why adipose tissue is often referred to as fatty tissue, because the adipose tissue is made up of adipocytes which have fat stored in them. when you hear the word adipose its generally referring to fat, and remember lipid is another word for fat. eg : if something is lipid soluble, it means that it is fat soluble (able to disolve in fats/lipids). so i believe the answer to your question is adipocytes.

Where do animals store short term energy?
Animals usually store excess energy in fat cells as fats.
What two nutrients store energy?
Cells and carbohydrates are the two nutrients which store energy.
Why do cells fats?
cells need fat because they store energy and a certain fat, ATP is the main source of energy for fat
What 2 nutrients store energy?
Two nutrients that store energy in the body are carbohydrates and fats. Carbohydrates are stored in the form of glycogen in muscles and the liver. Fats are stored in adipose tissue as triglycerides, which can be broken down for energy as needed.
What are the four fats found in cells?
The four main types of fats found in cells are triglycerides, phospholipids, cholesterol, and saturated fats. Triglycerides store energy, phospholipids are major components of cell membranes, cholesterol is important for cell structure and signaling, and saturated fats provide structure and insulation.
Are fats an important part of cells?
no
What are the different kind of fats?
The three different kinds of fats are: Saturated Fats, Monounsaturated Fats, and Polyunsaturated Fats. Hope this is what you were looking for!
What kind of fats should you avoid the most?
Trans Fats
How do animals store lipids?
As fats
How do animals store energy?
as fats
What storage spaces are found in the cytoplasm?
In the cytoplasm, storage spaces such as lipid droplets store fats and oils, glycogen granules store glucose for energy, and various organelles like vacuoles in plant cells and vesicles in animal cells store water, ions, and other molecules for different cellular functions.
Should Americans avoid fat?
No. Fats (or lipids) are used to store energy. Saturated fats are (as the name suggests) saturated with other substances, which makes it harder for the body to break down for use. Therefore humans must have fat, but the healthiest kind would be the unsaturated fats.
