Fibres can be classified as natural fibres and synthetic fibres.
A.True
B.False
Solution
Fibres are fine thread like structures which are thin , long and flexible . Fibres are used to prepare different types of clothes , they are spun into yarn and then woven into fabric .
The main sources of fibres are plants and animals but today man made fibres are also widely used .
Complete step by step answer:
There are many kinds of fibres but broadly they are classified into two categories , which are :
- Natural fibres - They are the fibres which are obtained from both plants and animals , they are hair like raw material and can be obtained from various plants and animals .They can be further classified as plant , mineral and animal fibres . For example - cotton , cellulose .
- Synthetic fibre - Synthetic fibres are made fibres which are synthesized in the laboratories from chemicals instead of directly deriving from living organisms . They are a long chain of small units joined together . For example - nylon , rayon .
So we may say that it is true that fibres are classified as natural and synthetic fibres .
Note:
Although synthetic fibres are cheaper than natural fibres we should use them carefully as they are not environmentally friendly . They may take years to degenerate hence we should find ways to enjoy their good qualities and at the same time try to minimize the environmental hazards .
