Answer:

Yes they do

Step-by-step explanation:

Free fatty acids (FFAs) are then transported into cells via protein carrier mediated pathway, including fatty acid translocase (CD36), fatty acid transport proteins (FATPs), and the plasma membrane isoform of fatty acid binding protein (FABPpm). Fatty acids serve as source of energy and in storage of energy.
