What is the most distinguishing characteristic of muscle tissue? what is the most distinguishing characteristic of muscle tissue? it is composed of multiple cells working together the ability to transform chemical energy into mechanical energy to move the body its cells' in ability to reproduce by mitosis the ability to respond to nervous stimulation?

Answer 1

The correct answer is: 'the ability to transform chemical energy into mechanical energy'. The oxidation of fats and carbohydrates through chemical reactions produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules. These ATP molecules power muscles, thereby converting chemical energy to mechanical energy.
