Question

Why adipose tissue acts as insulator of the heat ?

Answer 1

Bcoz it has layers of fat in it.

Answer 2

White adipose tissue serves three functions: heat insulation, mechanical cushion, and most importantly, a source of energy. Subcutaneous adipose tissue, found directly below the skin, is an especially important heat insulator in the body, because it conducts heat only one third as readily as other tissues. The degree of insulation is dependent upon the thickness of this fat layer.
