Question

Multilocular adipose tissue differs from unilocular adipose tissue in that it:

• A. Has fewer blood vessels
• B. Has greater number of mitochondria
• C. Undergoes lipolysis under influence of epinephrine
• D. Has cells that are not electrically coupled.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Has greater number of mitochondria

The characteristic difference between multilocular (brown fat) and monolocular (white fat) is the presence of more mitochondria in brown fat due to which it produces almost 20 times more energy than white fat.

So, the correct option is 'has a greater number of mitochondria'.
