← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when venomous snail protease cleaves proteins?
A)Reduced prey nerve signal propagation speed✓
B)Increased chitin synthesis after ingestion
C)Accelerated digestion without tissue damage
D)Enhanced muscle contraction in predator
💡 Explanation
Cleaving proteins from cell signalling disrupts the neural transmission; therefore, reduced speed of nerve signals is observed, because the signal cannot complete uninterrupted, rather than chitin creation, which is for shell formation.
