A young dog has never had much energy.A veterinarian discovers that the dog's mitochondria can use only fatty acids and amino acids for cellular respiration,and his cells produce more lactate than normal.Of the following,which is the best explanation of the dog's condition?


A) His mitochondria lack the transport protein that moves pyruvate across the outer mitochondrial membrane.
B) His cells cannot transport NADH from glycolysis into the mitochondria.
C) His cells contain something that inhibits oxygen use in his mitochondria.
D) His cells have a defective electron transport chain,so glucose is converted to lactate instead of acetyl CoA.
