Which consequence results when an enzymatic cascade disrupts cell membranes during envenomation?

💡 Explanation

Uncontrolled potassium efflux develops during envenomation because phospholipase-mediated lipolysis destabilizes cellular membranes, causing ion leakage. This ion leakage overwhelms normal cellular ion regulation, therefore cellular function degrades due to the efflux, rather than regulated responses.
