What are the six synthetic fibers?

Answer 1

Cotton is a soft, staple fibre that grows in a form known as a boll around the seeds of the cotton plant, a shrub native to tropical and subtropical regions around the world, including the Americas, India and Africa, in which some cotton plants grow, they grow a green substance called cotton, at first it is green and forms a white coating once growing.

Answer 2

Starch is a polymeric complex carbohydrate, made from the simple carbohydrate monomer glucose.

Glucose can actually link together in several different ways to form different materials. In starch, it's mainly linked via a 1-4 alpha glycosidic linkage. When this is the only type of linkage in the polymer, you get a straight-chain polymer called amylose, which makes up around 1/4 to 1/5 of the total weight of the starch.

The remainder is amylopectin, which is essentially the same thing, with an occasional 1-6 alpha glycoside link thrown in as well, making it a branched polymer.

Glucose can also link via 1-4 beta glycosidic linkages. When that happens, you get cellulose. Most animals have enzymes to break the 1-4 alpha links, so they can get nutrition from starch, but very few are able to break the 1-4 beta link to get nutrition from cellulose (many herbivores actually rely on symbiotic bacteria to break the links for them... it turns out no animal with a backbone has the enzyme needed to do this).

Answer 3

This sounds like a question I had to answer for a science topic and I had to take a while to think about the answer. I came to the conclusion of Cellulose. I hope this helps you and if you have another question like this go to the simple and helpful website in the related links below.

Answer 4

The synthetic fibers often used in replace of cotton are nylon and rayon.

YAY! Go Crops. :)

Answer 5

Cotton is made of cellulose - a polymer, a polysaccharide made of linked D-glucose units.
