The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding where lipids are stored in the body, we will analyze each option provided: 1. **Understanding Lipids**: - Lipids are energy-rich biomolecules that serve as a major source of energy for the body. They include fats, oils, and various other compounds. 2. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **(A) Liver**: The liver is involved in the synthesis of lipids and can store some lipids, particularly lipoproteins. However, it is not the primary storage site. - **(B) Muscles**: Muscle tissue can store some lipids in the form of intramuscular fat, but it is not a major storage site for lipids compared to others. - **(C) Adipose tissues**: This is the primary storage site for lipids in the body. Adipose tissue contains adipocytes, which store fat droplets and serve as the major reservoir for energy storage. - **(D) Bone marrow**: Bone marrow also contains adipocytes and can store lipids, although it is not as significant as adipose tissue. 3. **Conclusion**: - All four options (liver, muscles, adipose tissues, and bone marrow) can store lipids to some extent. However, the most significant storage occurs in adipose tissues. Therefore, the correct answer is that lipids are stored in **all of the above**. ### Final Answer: The correct combination is **(D) All**.
