Answer 2

How is cotton PRODUCED?

Explanation:

Cotton is a natural fibre grown on a plant related to the commonly-found garden species hibiscus.

Cotton seeds are planted in spring and the plant grows into green, bushy shrubs about one metre in height. The plants briefly grow pink and cream coloured flowers that, once pollinated, drop off and are replaced with fruit, better known as cotton bolls. Inside the cotton boll is fluffy, white lint as well as cotton seeds. Once the plant has been defoliated (sprayed so the leaves die and the plant is left looking like a collection of bare sticks), and the bolls have cracked open to reveal the lint, the cotton is ready to be picked. In Australia, cotton is picked with large mechanical harvesters and gathered into large, round, wrapped modules. The modules are then sent off to a cotton gin for processing. During the ginning process, the lint is separated from the seeds and is then pressed into rectangular bales.
