← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results in a snake when venom proteases degrade fibrinogen?
A)Enhanced blood clotting at bite
B)Systemic haemorrhaging rather than localised✓
C)Rapid tissue generation at wound
D)Increased red-cell oxygen carrying capacity
💡 Explanation
Systemic hemorrhaging results because venom impairs fibrinogen's function, blocking coagulation via enzymatic defibrination; therefore, widespread bleeding results rather than rapid clotting because the blood cannot form stable clots.
