Spider's web is a:
Correct answer: C. Fibrous protein
- A. Globular protein
- B. Functional protein
- C. Fibrous protein
- D. Soluble protein
Explanation
The correct answer is 'Fibrous protein'. Spider silk is a fibrous protein, characterized by its strong and elongated structure, which is ideal for forming webs. Fibrous proteins are typically insoluble and serve structural roles, unlike globular proteins, which are soluble and perform a variety of functions. 'Functional protein' is a broad term that does not specifically address the structural nature of the spider's web. Similarly, 'Soluble protein' refers to proteins that dissolve in water, which does not apply to the structural nature of spider silk.

About Biological Molecules
The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
