← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome accompanies obstructed sucrose invertase production after the ‘waggle dance’?
A)Decreased nectar dehydration efficiency
B)Reduced colony thermoregulation control
C)Impaired larval carbohydrate metabolism✓
D)Diminished worker bee pheromone synthesis
💡 Explanation
Impaired larval growth occurs because hindered sucrose invertase, normally activated after the waggle dance, disrupts monomer production and, therefore, sugar catabolism in developing larvae, rather than adults who feed them nectar directly. Limited carbs affect larval growth rather than gland secretions.
