Brown fat tissue in vertebrate animals:
1.is the most common storage form of fat
2.allows the animals to regulate their metabolic rate when it is especially hot
3.promotes fluidity of the biological membranes
4. regulates temperature by converting energy from NADH oxidation to heat

When the amount of ATP is increased in a cell, it is expected to:
1. inhibit the enzyme phosphofructokinase.
2. activate the enzyme citrate synthase.
3. inhibit the enzyme pyruvate kinase.
4. activate the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase.
