What is the function of adipose cell hormone-sensitive lipase?
A)Hydrolyzes hormones involved in fat breakdown
B)Synthesizes new adipose cells from simple fatty acids
C)Hydrolyzes triglycerides to provide fatty acids for other cells
D)Synthesizes long-chain fatty acids to provide precursors for other cells
E)Regulation of blood pressure and blood clotting

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adipose cell hormone-sensitive lipase hydrolyzes triglycerides to provide fatty acids for other cells to use as an energy source or for synthesizing important biomolecules.

Note: Option A is incorrect as hormone-sensitive lipase does not hydrolyze hormones. Option B is incorrect as adipose cells do not synthesize new adipose cells. Option D is incorrect as adipose cells do not synthesize long-chain fatty acids. Option E is incorrect as adipose cell hormone-sensitive lipase is not involved in blood pressure or blood clotting regulation.
