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?

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.

Wetlands form where water and land meet. a lake with a wetland fringe can fill in with decayed plant and animal material to become a wet meadow. a pond can fill in to become a bog or fen. sediment can fill in a river marsh to become a swamp.flooding of coastal lowlands from rising sea levels has created broad coastal marshes that are protected from wave action by barrier islands or reefs. coastal wetlands also form when rivers deposit sediment as they reach the ocean. plants then take root and hold the soil firm against the forces of tides and waves.
