How can you obtain cotton from cotton plants? Which type of
climate and soil are suitable for growing cotton?
b) What are synthetic fibres? Give two examples.
Answers
Answer:
(a)
Cotton can grow in almost all well drained soils. However, suitable soils for achieving high yields are considered the deep well drained sandy loam soils, with enough clay, organic matter and a moderate concentration of nitrogen and phosphorus.
(b)
Some examples of synthetic fabrics are polyester, acrylic, nylon, rayon, acetate, spandex, latex and Kevlar. Synthetic fibres are made by the joining of monomers into polymers by the process of polymerization.
