Which consequence results when disulfide bonds break under mechanical stress in spider silk?

💡 Explanation

Non-uniform elasticity appears because localized bond breakage shifts the load. The mechanism is stress accumulation at intact bonds, therefore the silk exhibits varied stiffness rather than maintaining uniformity under tensile force because it’s disrupted.
