Question

Why are fibrous proteins insoluble in water?

Answer 1

$\mathbb{\huge{\pink{ANSWER}}}$

______________⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fibrous proteins do not dissolve in water due to the difference in polarity. According to chemical laws, "like dissolves like". Since water is polar, and the surface of fibrous proteins is covered in non-polar amino acids, it does not dissolve into the aqueous solution.

Answer 2

Explanation: In a globular protein, the amino acid chain can twist in a way that polar groups lie at the protein's surface. This allows the protein to interact with water and enhances the protein's solubility in water. This does not occur in fibrous proteins, so fibrous proteins are insoluble in water.
