Fat in the body acts as energy storage. Correct answer: B

Fat from food is broken down into fatty acids, which can travel in the blood and be captured by hungry cells. Fatty acids that aren't needed right away are packaged in bundles called triglycerides and stored in fat cells, which have unlimited capacity. Fat cells can increase and decrease in size depending on the amount of fat that the body is storing.
