← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome is most likely when a venomous snake strikes, then immediately releases its prey in a dense forest?
A)Prey expires rapidly from venom amount.
B)Facilitated tracking follows scent gradient.✓
C)Venomous proteins counteract prey defenses.
D)Injected venom paralyzes prey instantly.
💡 Explanation
Successful predation benefits from the *chemoreception* mechanism. Tracking follows increasing scent left by dispersing venom is more effective, because predators locate quickly, therefore catching moving prey, rather than instantly incapacitating heavy animals only.
