I will give BRAINLIEST. 1. A spiderweb and a Kevlar jacket have some obvious differences. Which property is similar between the web and the jacket?
- surface area
- thickness, expressed as a number of atoms
- overall strength
- arrangement of atoms in molecules
2. Assuming silk from spiderwebs could be made just as strong as Kevlar, why would a company still choose to use Kevlar in producing bulletproof fabrics?
- A much larger amount of silk might be needed to produce the same effect.
- Spiderweb silk would likely be rejected by the body.
- The cost might be higher for producing spiderweb silk.
- Spiderweb silk likely involves more chemicals.
3. Which microscopic detail affects the strength of different forms of silk?
- Different silk strands are made with different types of atoms.
- Different types of silk are in long strands or in other very different arrangements.
- Different silk strands have different combinations of amino acids.
- Different types of silk do not have the same strength if they come from different sources.
4. Which type silk is the strongest?
- nonbiodegradable
- minor ampullate
- major ampullate
- biodegradable
5. Which natural source has been bioengineered to make silk proteins?
- mulberry leaves
- goat milk
- goat hair
- mulberry bark
