Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
White adipose connective tissue is characterized by ____
A
predominance of the ground substance over fibres
B
presence of clusters of adipocytes
C
predominance of collagen fibres that are arranged parallel to one another in a very orderly manner
D
predominance of collagen fibres that interlace in various directions
E
presence of multinucleate mass of protoplasm which is not subdivided into individual cellular compartment
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -White adipose tissue (WAT) is a heterogeneous tissue composed of lipid-filled adipocytes and several nonadipocyte cell populations, including endothelial, blood, uncharacterized stromal, and adipocyte precursor cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Adipose tissue, also known as fat tissue or fatty tissue, is a connective tissue that is mainly composed of fat cells called adipocytes. Adipocytes are energy storing cells that contain large globules of fat known as lipid droplets surrounded by a structural network of fibers.

Detailed explanation-3: -White adipose tissue White fat cells (adipocytes) have a simple structure composed of a single lipid droplet (fat molecule) and a few cellular organelles. They provide energy storage, insulation from extreme temperatures and cushioning around soft organs.

Detailed explanation-4: -Human brown fat Interestingly, human brown adipose tissue is an amalgam of brown and white adipocytes.
