← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results when an inland taipan snake's venom degrades at high temperatures?
A)Reduced prey immobilization effectiveness✓
B)Increased venom viscosity and diffusion
C)Uncontrollable hypercoagulation in prey
D)Enhanced enzyme catalysis inside tissues
💡 Explanation
High temperature degrades proteins altering the active site of enzymes inside the venom utilizing denaturation, therefore the venom has reduced effect in prey immobilization, rather than improved function, because the necessary protein confirmations no longer are stable.
