← Nature & AnimalsWhen venomous snakes strike larger prey, which mechanism affects digestion via pre-ingestion?
A)Exo-peptidase enzymatic proteolysis✓
B)Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorlyation
C)Accelerated keratinocyte proliferation
D)Increased leukocyte opsonization activity
💡 Explanation
Venom contains enzymes, notably exo-peptidases, which initiate protein breakdown externally—exo-peptidase enzymatic proteolysis aids digestion initially. Therefore, venom partly digests prey before consumption, rather than generating cellular energy, accelerating skin growth, or enhancing immune responses.
