Which of the following tissues stores energy in the form of fat?
A
Ligament
B
Squamous Epithelium
C
Neurons
D
Areolar Tissue
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In humans, adipose tissue is found below the skin, around the internal organs, etc. The main function of adipose tissue is to store energy in the form of fats.

Detailed explanation-2: -The areolar tissue consists of many types of fibres and cells. Among the cells are the adipocytes. These adipocyte cells together make the adipose tissue or the fat tissue. It is in these cells that fat is stored in the form of fat globules.

Detailed explanation-3: -The adipose tissue plays a fundamental role in maintaining the energy balance in mammals. During periods of high energy intake, the adipocytes store energy in the form of fat (triglycerides), which can be mobilized as free fatty acids during energy deprivation.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
