Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The tissue contains large amounts of protein arranged in stripes, which is a characteristic of skeletal muscle tissue. The twitching and relaxing in response to an electrical charge is also indicative of muscle tissue. Loose connective tissue, adipose tissue, simple epithelial tissue and stratified epithelial tissue do not possess these characteristics.
