Answer 1

Answer:

Hi, your answer is -;

1)For Rubber, secondary metabolite used is latex.

2)For Leather, secondary metabolite used is in colouring.

Explanation:

1)Rubber is made from the latex that comes from a tree species called Hevea brasiliensis, widely known as the rubber tree.

2)Natural dyes by using different mordants were found petals of Rosa damascena (rose) and used to dye encouraging in terms of their colour fastness to light, chrome tanned goat crust leather.

Most natural dyes come from dye plants, the best-known ones being woad, weld and madder from Europe, and brazilwood, logwood and indigo from the tropics. Some, such as cochineal, come from insects and a small number, including iron and copper salts, come from mineral sources.
