All of the statements are true. Gluconeogenesis can only supply glucose at a limited rate during exercise, while skeletal muscles can consume glucose at a much faster rate. Prolonged exercise at higher intensities can lead to hypoglycemia, a condition where blood glucose levels become dangerously low.
