← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results when a Gila monster's venom gland delivery system faces physical obstruction?
A)Venom degrades to harmless proteins
B)Reduced pre-capture prey immobilization✓
C)Excessive antivenom production triggered
D)Triggered premature venom protein synthesis
💡 Explanation
Reduced pre-capture prey immobilization occurs, because venom flow is physically blocked, limiting the potency injected through mandibular teeth and impairing the Inhibition. Effectiveness is directly tied to delivery; therefore, limited envenomation, rather than venom degredation or altered biological processing occurs.
