← Nature & AnimalsWhich metabolic outcome results from snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs) causing hemorrhage?
A)Disrupted blood vessel basement membrane✓
B)Accelerated platelet aggregation cascade
C)Increased synthesis of clotting factors
D)Enhanced red blood cell deformability
💡 Explanation
SVMPs induce hemorrhage because extracellular matrix degradation, leading to basement membrane disruption, weakens blood vessel walls; therefore, blood leaks into tissues, rather than clotting or enhanced cell flexibility, due to specific enzymatic activity.
