Recent research seeks to safely activate the capacity of these cells to produce heat as a possible method of obesity prevention or treatment. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name these multi·locular cells that differentiate from the mesoderm, and are thought to be the origin of hibernomas. Although they aren’t myocytes, Myf5 is associated with a population of these cells.
ANSWER: brown adipocytes [or brown fat cells; or brown adipose cells; accept brown adipose tissue or brown fat tissue; prompt on adipocytes or adipose cells or adipose tissue; prompt on fat cells or fat tissue; reject “white adipocytes” or “white fat” or “white adipose”]
[10m] A type of unilocular adipocyte is named for its deposits originating in this tissue, which also serves as the primary site of hemato·poiesis.
ANSWER: bone marrow [accept marrow adipocytes or marrow fat cells or marrow adipose tissue]
[10e] The lipid droplets that determine locularity of adipocytes are surrounded by layers of this substance. This substance is mostly composed of cytosol and surrounds the organelles in a cell.
ANSWER: cytoplasm
