← HistoryWhich consequence results when Byzantine silk workshops limit sericulture temperatures?
A)Increased fibroin fiber crystallinity
B)Reduced dye uptake efficiency
C)Decreased silk tensile strength✓
D)Elevated silk re-reeling productivity
💡 Explanation
Lower sericulture temperature impacts silk fibroin production, reducing fiber alignment via thermal motion; this lowers tensile strength because fiber INTERMOLECULAR BONDING is weakened. Therefore, weakening the molecular bonds in silk reduces strength rather than benefiting dyeing, crystallinity, or productivity.
