Answer 1

$\large{ \underline{ \dag{ \orange{ \bold{ANSWER}}}}}$

Dietary fibre is a term that is used for $\bold\green{plant-based \:carbohydrates }$that, unlike other carbohydrates (such as sugars and starch), are not digested in the small intestine and so reaches the large intestine or colon.

Answer 2

Answer:

Apart from economic considerations, the usefulness of a fibre for commercial purposes is determined by such properties as length, strength, pliability, elasticity, abrasion resistance, absorbency, and various surface properties. Most textile fibres are slender, flexible, and relatively strong.
