What Silk is produced by spiders?

Answer 1

A spider makes its web by producing a silk from their spinneret glands located in their stomachs. Each gland produces a strand for a specific purpose for example safety line, sticky line, line went to trap. Most Spiders have three pairs of spinneret glands, some have four.

Answer 2

Spiders produce silken thread using several paired spinneret glands located at the tip of their abdomen. Each gland produces a thread for a special purpose - for example a trailed safety line, sticky silk for trapping prey or fine silk for wrapping it. Seven different gland types have currently been identified,[citation needed] although any particular species of spider possesses only some of these types.

Most spiders have three pairs of spinnerets, each having its own function - there are also spiders with just one pair and others with as many as four pairs.

Webs allow a spider to catch prey without having to expend energy by running it down. Thus it is an efficient method of gathering food. However, constructing the web is in itself an energetically costly process due to the large amount of protein required, in the form of silk. In addition, after a time the silk will lose its stickiness and thus become inefficient at capturing prey. It is not uncommon for spiders to eat their own web daily to recoup some of the energy used in spinning. The silk proteins are thus recycled.

The tensile strength of spider silk is greater than the same weight of steel and has much greater elasticity. Its microstructure is under investigation for potential applications in industry, including bullet-proof vests and artificial tendons. Researchers have used genetically modified mammals to produce the proteins needed to make this material.[

Answer 3

Silk is a protein substance that is produced by glands within the bodies of spiders. There are several kinds of silk that the spiders use for different purposes. The silk leaves the body of a spider through biological faucets called "spinnerets" that are located near the rear end of the spider's body. The spider can move its spinnerets, it can also move its abdomen, and it can also use its rear legs to move a thread of silk to where the spider wants it to be placed.

Answer 4

spiders get silk from a part inside their abdoman. they spin it with something called spinnerets.

Answer 5

Spiders have spinnerets near the tip of their abdomen (butt) Webs can be formed from saliva.
