Answer:
Brown versus white fat. Fat cells can be white or brown. White adipocytes, or white fat cells, have a single lipid droplet, but brown adipocytes contain many small lipid droplets, and a high number of iron-containing mitochondria. Brown fat has more capillaries than white fat, because of its higher oxygen consumption.

Answer:
The main differences between the two appear to be as follows: White adipose tissue (WAT), or white fat is the result of storing excess calories. ... Brown adipose tissue (BAT) or brown fat generates heat by burning calories. When it is cold, brown fat's lipid reserves are depleted, and its color gets darker.
