Explanation of Solution

The pronghorn antelope animal should have a highly vascularized muscle structure to provide enough oxygenated blood. Muscle cells should contain enough amounts of mitochondria to utilize glucose and other metabolites using oxygen to produce enough energy. The presence of short muscle fibers can provide a sudden burst that is important for these kinds of animals.

The muscles of these animals have more mitochondria which are capable of generating enough ATP and optimized circulatory systems to provide enough blood throughout the body. The presence of a large heart helps to pump blood in increased rates.
