Answer: c - biological catalyst

Explanation: To capture their prey, spiders have fangs, which

pierce the body wall of insects and inject venom.

Spider venoms usually contain specific proteins

that attack the cell membranes of the prey. The

membranes and most of the contents of the

insect's body turn into a liquid that the spider then

ingests for food.

The spider venom proteins are most likely to be biological catalysts.

What is spider venom?

  • Spider venom is a mixture of chemicals or enzymes.
  • Its neurotoxins(toxic to nervous system), kill or immobilize insects by attacking their nervous systems
  • And cytotoxins(toxic to cells) helps to break down the insect's tissue so the spider can ingest a liquefied meal.

What do you mean by biological catalyst?

  • "Biological catalysts are called enzymes."
  • It increases the speed of biochemical reactions.

Hence, option C biological catalysts is correct answer by which spider can catch and ingest its prey.
