Answer:

The most correct answer would be "all individuals exposed to cold temperatures".

Explanation:

Body fat can be divided into white fat and brown fat.  

White fat cells (adipocytes) have a <u>single lipid droplet</u> and this fat is a result of an excess of calories. White fat, when storage around abdominal area, increases cardiovascular risk. Therefore, an <em>obese person has a great proportion of this type of fat. </em>

On the other hand, brown fat has <u>many lipid droplets</u> and <u>mitochondria full of iron</u>, which give its brown color. Brown fat is useful to generate heat, it does so by burning calories. This type of fat can usually be found in adults in the back of the neck and above the collarbone and its amount <em>decreases with age.  </em>

How do plants grow without sunlight
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer: by using artificial light (grow light) in place of sunlight

Explanation: Plants generally needs sunlight to grow and survive through a process known as photosynthesis, this is when Plants and other organism uses sunlight to convert water, carbon dioxide and minerals into energy rich compound (starch) while oxygen is been released into the environment.

However in the absence of sunlight, artificial light know as grow light can be used, these lights are design in such a way that it emits lights of wavelengths that are appropriate for photosynthesis. The grow light replaces the sun as a source of photons in the process of photosynthesis.
