Question

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

Explanation:

Muscle tissue's main function is movement. It achieves this by converting chemical energy (from ATP) into mechanical energy (contraction). While other tissues like epithelial or nervous also have cells working together or respond to stimuli, and some cells (like neurons) also have limited mitosis ability. But the unique energy - transformation for body movement is key.

Answer:

the ability to transform chemical energy into mechanical energy to move the body
