You have discovered a new animal and have decided to test its muscle physiology during exercise. You exercise the animal and continually run tests on the chemistry of the blood as well as the muscle. You discover that the blood glucose levels drop dramatically and are not brought back up. Additionally, you find that the muscle does not have any glycogen stores, glucose, or lactate left for metabolism but ATP levels within the cell are normal. Which of the following conclusions can you make regarding this animal's ability to maintain muscle activity during exercise?
   a. The animal only uses fats for muscle metabolism within the cell in order to produce ATP.
   b. The animal only utilizes anaerobic metabolism for the production of ATP.
   c. The animal produces an excessive amount of lactic acid that is delivered to the liver for gluconeogenesis.
   d. The intestinal transport of glucose in these animals must be extraordinarily high.

This one is tough... I would guess A, but I'm not 100% certain.
