← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results when repeated venom expulsion depletes venom reserves in snakes?
A)Increased foraging range requirements emerge
B)Elevated resting metabolic rate develops
C)Reduced prey capture success arises✓
D)Enhanced cryptic camouflage proficiency results
💡 Explanation
Reduced prey capture occurs because vesicle exocytosis, the mechanism for venom release, depletes stored venom awaiting gland replenishment; therefore, prey subdual is less efficient later in hunting, rather than metabolic changes becoming necessary, or camouflage improving.
