    Cellulose is the basic building block of plants and is formed through photosynthesis. Cotton, flax, and cellulosic man-made fibers are derived from cellulose extracted from plants, while wool, silk, and synthetic fibers come from proteins produced by animals or petroleum extracted from sea plankton and processed. All textile fibers ultimately trace their source material back to solar energy through photosynthesis or the food chain.

    Cellulose is the basic scaffolding of

    all plants. It is formed through


    photosynthesis
    SOURCES OF TEXTILE FIBERS
    Cotton Cellulosic man-made fibers
    Synthetic man-made fibers
    Flax
    Wool
    Silk
    The food taken in by animals is
    transformed into fiber forming
    proteins
    Source material is
    cellulose extracted
    from wood
    Raw material is petroleum
    derived from sea plankton
    Solar energy
    is the basis
    of life
