← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results when a viper employs proteolytic venom?
A)Rapid breakdown of ingested protein
B)Immediate paralysis of prey muscles
C)Localized tissue damage and necrosis✓
D)Attraction of other predators toward prey
💡 Explanation
Proteolytic venom contains enzymes initiating proteolysis; this dismantles proteins leading to acute tissue destruction and is part of envenomation, therefore necrosis. It does not rapidly break down ingested protein; rather than causing paralysis, it acts destructively through digestion of tissues.
