Question

select the correct statement regarding adipose tissue.
its primary function is nutrient storage.
most of the cell volume is occupied by the nucleus.
it is composed mostly of extracellular matrix.
mature adipose cells are highly mitotic.

Explanation:

Adipose tissue is a type of connective tissue. Its main role is to store nutrients (specifically lipids). In adipose cells, the large lipid droplet occupies most of the cell volume, not the nucleus. Connective tissues like bone or cartilage have a significant extracellular matrix, but adipose tissue is mainly cells. Mature adipose cells are not highly mitotic; they have a relatively low rate of cell division.

Answer:

Its primary function is nutrient storage.
