← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome reliably occurs the moment venom inhibits prey neuromuscular function?
A)Rapid induction of prey paralysis✓
B)Elevated rate of venom degradation
C)Reduced predator venom production
D)Decreased efficiency nutrient absorption
💡 Explanation
Paralysis immediately follows venom blocking nerve signal transmission because interfering with acetylcholine receptors causes neuromuscular blockade, therefore, paralysis results, rather than increased venom degradation or decreased venom production, which are independent processes.
