A.True
B.False

Answer 1

Hint: Cotton is a soft, fluffy staple fibre that grows in a boll. Cotton is the most common and widely used as fibre. The extraction of yarn from cotton seeds values many processes and the industry associated with it is the textile industry.

Complete step by step answer:
As indicated by the name, cotton seeds are the seeds of cotton plants. Textile manufacturing is the major of the fabric industry which is based on the conversion of fibre into yarn, yarn into fabric. Cotton is the most important fiber, so is treated in depth. Cotton is the world's most used natural fiber. The preparation of fabric from cotton or cotton seeds involves many processes.
(i) Ginning:- It is the process in which cotton fibres are separated from cotton seeds. The cotton fibre free from seeds is known as lint. The impurities present in cotton are removed by the process called scotching.
(ii) Carding:- It is the process in which fibres are assembled into loose stances from where the cotton fibers are taped to the carding machine. The machine lines up fibers to make a sliver (a large rope of fibres).
(iii) Combining:- After carding , combining is used to remove the shorter fibres creating a stronger yarn.
After combining, fibres are straightened, several slivers are combined to obtain a fabric of thick yarn which is then used to make fabric.
Hence we got to know that the process of extracting fibres from cotton seeds in preparation for making yarn includes ginning, carding and combining.

So the given statement is true.



Note:
Cottonseed separated from cotton is used to extract cotton seed oil. Cotton seeds can also be used in fertilizers due to their high protein content. The fine quality of oil extracted from cotton seed during the extraction process is also used in commotion.
