← Nature & AnimalsWhich prey outcome occurs when an inland taipan snake injects venom?
A)Targeted cell lysis via phospholipases✓
B)Neural communication disruption via hyaluronidase
C)Enhanced cellular regeneration rates locally
D)Accelerated blood coagulation in tissues
💡 Explanation
Prey experiences cell lysis because taipan venom contains phospholipases that destabilize cell membranes; therefore, cells rupture, rather than neural disruption since neurotoxins aren't main factors compared to cellular damage from membrane instability.
