Question

What serves as the body's chief storage site for lipids?

Answer 1

The white adipose serves as the body's chief storage site for lipids. 
The body only uses the amount of nutrients and energy it needs to function, any excess after that is what is stored in the adipose tissue. Lipids are stored in the body in different forms such as, triglycerides, fat cells, cell membranes and lipoproteins. Adipose tissue, or fat, is an anatomical term for loose connective tissue composed of adipocytes.
