Insulation and protection

Energy storage

Hormone production

Previous problemNext problem

Verified step by step guidance

Identify the primary functions of fat in the human body. These include insulation and protection, energy storage, and hormone production.

Understand that insulation and protection refer to fat's role in maintaining body temperature and cushioning organs.

Recognize that energy storage is a key function of fat, as it provides a reserve of energy that can be used when needed.

Acknowledge that hormone production involves fats as precursors for certain hormones, such as steroid hormones.

Consider the role of oxygen transport in the body, which is primarily a function of hemoglobin in red blood cells, not fat. Therefore, oxygen transport is not a function of fat.
