Chapter 19, Problem 19.68E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The properties of fibrous proteins that play a significant role in the making of hair, fur, and spiderwebs useful are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Proteins are defined as the biomolecules which are composed of the extended chains of amino acid residues. They are classified as fibrous or globular proteins on the basis of the shape of their structure. Fibrous proteins are elongated rod-shaped molecules and are not soluble in water. The shape of globular proteins is spherical, and they are found to be water soluble molecules.
