Which consequence results when a jellyfish discharge fails during envenomation?

💡 Explanation

Ineffective venom delivery occurs because the nematocyst's operculum deployment requires sufficient hydrostatic pressure from the venom ejection mechanism; therefore, lacking this, the venom fails to enter the prey, rather than altering osmotic states or stimulating immune response.
