Fat cells have the ability to expand, that is hypertrophy to accommodate more fat in cases of high availability of fats in the body. These cells also have the ability, to a lesser degree, to increase in number that is hyperplasia. These cells also produce metabolism modulators, such as glycerol, hormones, macrophage stimulating chemokines, and pro-inflammatory cytokines that regulate conversion of glucose to fats and vice versa, and thus able to regulate amount of fats stored in them relative to the caloric intake.

Root cells in a plant completely lack chloroplasts, whereas leaf cells have many chloroplasts. Which difference will be seen in these two types of cells?

Chloroplasts are plant cell organelles that convert light energy into relatively stable chemical energy via the photosynthetic process.Therefore, leaf cells are capable to perform photosynthesis, and root cells - cannot...

Individual bacterial cells may have plasmids with the genes that protect the bacterial cells from antibiotics. Explain how this trait may be passed on to other bacterial cells in the colony

Plasmids can transfer between different bacteria. This means that a bacterium can become resistant to multiple antibiotics at once by picking up a single plasmid. They then become multidrug-resistant. Furthermore,...

What happens in the body when only proteins and fat are ingested but carbohydrates are excluded? Are diets that are high in proteins and fat healthy weight-loss alternatives?

When only proteins and fats are ingested but carbohydrates are excluded, the body (including the brain) burns fats instead of carbohydrates.For most healthy people, a high-protein diet generally isn't harmful,...
