Answer:

white fats or lipids form animal body fat that is used for stored energy and insulation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fats are a type of lipids. White fat is a storage tissue and is not a thermogenic tissue like brown fat. Lipids are deposited in the tissues as fat enters the body and is stored in triacylglycerol forms. Lipids accumulate in adipocytes.

White fat is a long-term fuel. This fat is located under the skin and surrounding organs. White fat stores energy for future needs for example in hibernation
