Carbon Dioxide Gating in Silk Cocoon
18 Aug 2012 | | Contributor(s):: sunil kumar meena
Silk is the generic name given to the fibrous proteins spun by a number of arthropods. During metamorphosis, the larva of the silk producing arthropods excrete silk-fiber from its mouth and spun it around the body to form a protective structure called cocoon. An adult moth emerges out from the...
