Q. Assertion (A) Adipose tissues are specialised to store fats.
Reason (R) The extra nutrients, which are not used immediately by the body get converted into fats.

Structural Organisation in Animals

Solution:

Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
The adipose tissue is a fat storing loose connective tissue. It is mainly located beneath the skin. The cells of this tissue are specialised to store fats. The excess of nutrients, which are not used immediately by the body gets converted into fats and are stored in this tissue.
