← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results when a jellyfish discharge fails during envenomation?
A)Reduced osmotic pressure in nematocyst
B)Ineffective venom delivery into tissue✓
C)Increased enzyme activity within prey
D)Stimulated immediate immune system defense
💡 Explanation
Ineffective venom delivery occurs because the nematocyst's operculum deployment requires sufficient hydrostatic pressure from the venom ejection mechanism; therefore, lacking this, the venom fails to enter the prey, rather than altering osmotic states or stimulating immune response.
