Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Adipose tissue is primarily a fat storing tissue. It is found beneath the skin and insulates the body against heat loss.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Adipose tissue acts as an insulator in the body due to its fat storage. Fat molecules are bad conductors and therefore do not allow the conduction of heat and in this way, they act as an insulator due to storage of fat molecules.
