← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results when repeated activation of protease inhibitors restricts venom apparatus in spiders?
A)Increased web flexibility underwater
B)Accelerated exoskeleton calcification rates
C)Compromised prey immobilization effectiveness✓
D)Enhanced resistance to desiccation stress
💡 Explanation
Limited protease function affects venom potency because protease inhibitors block the metalloproteinase activity necessary for toxins' spread, therefore reducing toxicity against prey, rather than altering exoskeleton properties or influencing desiccation resistance.
