IV. Answer the following questions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Question 1.
\nExplain how stifling is done. What is the purpose of stifling of cocoons?
\nAnswer:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. When the eggs are hatched the larvae come out, these are kept in chandrikalu.<\/li>\n
  2. Chandrikalu are specialized cane structures where mulberry leaves are also kept for larval feeding.<\/li>\n
  3. This larva forms the cocoon. These are used for obtaining silk fibres.<\/li>\n
  4. After 2 – 3 days cocoons formation, farmers remove them from chandrikalu and treat them under steam for 10 to 15 minutes.<\/li>\n
  5. The process of killing larvae inside the cocoon by putting them in steam is called stifling.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Importance of stifling:
    \nThe larvae in the cocoons have to be killed by stifling otherwise larvae inside cocoons will come out by breaking open the cocoons.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Hence, we can not derive continuous thread of silk. This will reduce the quality of silk fibre.<\/li>\n
    2. Stiffled cocoons can be stored for a long time and can be sold in market.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Question 2.
      \nDifferentiate between Animal fibres and Plant fibres based on their properties.
      \nAnswer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
      Animal fibres<\/td>\nPlant fibres<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
      1) They burn slowly but not continuously when compared to plant fibres.<\/td>\n1) They burn fast and continuous when compared to animal fibres.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
      2) These are protein based fibres.<\/td>\n2) They contain cellulose. So, they are cellulosic fibres.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
      3) They can’t absorb more water.<\/td>\n3) These fibres absorb more water.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
      4) Stretching capacity is more.<\/td>\n4) Stretching capacity is less.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
      5) They release fumes emitting the smell of burning hair or meat.<\/td>\n5) They release fumes emitting normal, smell of burning paper.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
      6) The ashes formed are black in colour and appear as beads and can be made as powder.<\/td>\n6) The ashes formed are not black in colour and is in the form of powder.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
      7) They dissolve in sodium hypochlorite (bleach).<\/td>\n7) They do not dissolve in sodium hypochlorite (bleach).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

      Question 3.
      \nAnalyse the advantages and disadvantages in usage of clothes made of synthetic fibres. Which type of fabric you prefer to use? Why?
      \nAnswer:
      \nI prefer to use jute fabric because it is environmentally friendly.<\/p>\n

      Advantages of using synthetic fibres :<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Synthetic fibres are light, soft and smooth.<\/li>\n
      2. They are more durable when compared to natural fibres.<\/li>\n
      3. Maintenance of dresses made of synthetic fibres is relatively easier.<\/li>\n
      4. These are available at a cheaper price as their production is quite abundant and economical.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Disadvantages of using synthetic fibres :<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Except Rayon, all other synthetic fibres are made of chemicals. So, their production leads to Environmental pollution.<\/li>\n
        2. Even after their disposal they won’t mix in soils for years and they release harmful chemicals into the soil.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Question 4.
          \nWhat happens if stifling is not done to silk moth cocoons?
          \n(OR)
          \nWhat will happen if cocoon is not boileicl?
          \n(OR)
          \nGenerally larvae of silk moth are killed by a process of stiffling to collect silk from cocoon. What will happen if cocoon is not boiled?
          \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. If cocoon is not boiled, the larva inside the cocoon grows and cuts its way out after growing into a moth and spoil the cocoon.<\/li>\n
          2. We cannot derive continuous thread of silk.<\/li>\n
          3. This will reduce the quality of silk fabric.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Question 5.
            \nDraw a well labelled diagram to explain life cycle of silk moth. Which stage in life of silk moth is important for making silk? Why?
            \nAnswer:
            \n\"AP \"AP<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Among the four stages of silk moth, larva stage is important for obtaining silk.<\/li>\n
            2. In this stage, silk worm secrets a ghee like substance containing protein. This protein dries up on exposure to air to form silk fibre.<\/li>\n
            3. Like this way, silk worm completely covers its body with silk fibre. This looks like a capsule known as cocoon (pattukaya).<\/li>\n
            4. After stiffling process we get silk from cocoons.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Question 6.
              \nWhat precautions do you suggest a shearer to take while shearing an animal to prevent hurting them?
              \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Cutters and combs should be sharp and they should be cleaned, resharpened and lubricated after each job of shearing.<\/li>\n
              2. The shearing floor should be clean and free of straw and debris.<\/li>\n
              3. Sheep must be dry before shearing.<\/li>\n
              4. Shearing must be done in shade to prevent heat stress.<\/li>\n
              5. Prevent cuts to the animal’s skin by taking time while shearing and carefully clipping the wool so as to not get too close to the sheep’s skin.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Question 7.
                \nDescribe your views on preparation of silk by killing the larvae. What ways do you suggest to prevent this activity towards silk moth?
                \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. I feel very unhappy on the methods used for producing silk by killing the larvae of silk moths.<\/li>\n
                2. I feel ashamed as a human being, for killing the innocent larvae in the boiled water for getting silk.<\/li>\n
                3. It is better to avoid these practices for getting silk.<\/li>\n
                4. We should encourage Ahimsa silk which is obtained in non – violent way. In this method, the pupa of silk worm is allowed to hatch and the left over cocoon is then used to derive silk. This method of silk production is introduced by Kusuma Rajaiah, a handloom technologist and a former employee in AP Handloom department.<\/li>\n
                5. We should encourage the trails executing to find sources of silk other than silk worms.<\/li>\n
                6. A Manipuri silk inventor named Tongbran Bijay Santhi, introduced to draw silk like threads from Lotus stem. We should welcome this type of inventors to pave new ways for getting silk.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    Question 2.
                    \nThink about the dresses we prefer to wear ip winter or when we are going to visit cooler places. Which natural fibre are they made of? Why do we choose woolen dresses like sweaters, shawls, scarfs etc. Wool is a bad conductor of heat. It won\u2019t allow our body to lose heat.
                    \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

                      \n
                    1. Wool is a poor conductor of heat. Air trapped in between the woolen fibres and our body prevents the flow of heat from our body to our surroundings.<\/li>\n
                    2. So we feel hot and are protected from cold.<\/li>\n
                    3. Woolen cloth also helps to do use fire.<\/li>\n
                    4. That is why it is good to wrap a person, who is caught in fire, with a blanket.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                      Question 3.
                      \nParachute ropes are made of silk in olden days. It\u2019s strength and elasticity helps in retaining the weight of a person when he is flying in air. Water resistance capacity included along the characters of silk, made parachute manufacturers use Nylon now a days. What will happen if we use cotton or wool fibres for this purpose?
                      \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

                        \n
                      1. If we use fibres like cotton or wool in the manufacturing of parachutes, accidents will take place while flying.<\/li>\n
                      2. It is because cotton and wool fibres are not strong enough to carry such huge weight against the wind currents.<\/li>\n
                      3. More over, they are less tensile, water absorbants and heavy in weight, so, they are not suitable for the manufacturing of parachutes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                              1. Woolen clothes are washed after 4-5 wearings only because frequent washes may loosen the firmness of knitting resulting in loss of shape of fabric.<\/li>\n
                              2. After washing also woolen clothes should not be squeezed. It is advised to wrap them in a towel to remove extra moisture before drying off.<\/li>\n
                              3. Mild detergent should be used to wash wool and silk clothes.<\/li>\n
                              4. Cotton and silk clothes readily shrink on washing. So, starching and ironing of cotton and rolling of silk can unshrink the garments.<\/li>\n
                              5. Silk and wool clothes should be stored carefully. Because insects attack these clothes to feed on protein substances present in fibres. (Fibroin, Keratin)<\/li>\n
                              6. Strong fragrance of phenophthalene balls, boric acid, fragrant oils like sandal oil and lavender oils can successfully repel the insects.<\/li>\n
                              7. By keeping these substances between the clothes, we can protect silk and woolen clothes from insects.<\/li>\n
                              8. Shrinkage of silk sarees can be removed by a process called “Rolling”.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
