Elongation of fibers refers to the ability of a material to stretch or extend under tension before breaking. It is a measure of the flexibility or ductility of the material, indicating how much it can deform before reaching its breaking point. This property is important in various industries such as textiles, construction, and manufacturing where materials need to withstand stretching forces.
The region of elongation in a plant root is responsible for cell growth and expansion, leading to root elongation. This region allows the root to penetrate the soil and explore a larger area for water and nutrients.
Shoot elongation in a growing bud is primarily due to cell division and cell expansion processes occurring in the meristematic tissue of the bud. The hormone auxin plays a crucial role in promoting cell elongation by stimulating cell expansion and increasing water uptake in the cells. Additionally, environmental factors such as light and temperature can also influence shoot elongation.
The three types of fibers in areolar connective tissue are collagen fibers, elastic fibers, and reticular fibers. These fibers provide support, elasticity, and strength to the tissue.

Internodal elongation is stimulated by
strain is percent elongation/100; for example a strain of 0.02 is 2% elongation. Often we refer to elongation at failure; for example if a material fails at 10% elongation its strain is 0.10
What is the importance of elongation of a material?
no
* yarn elongation is stretching of yarn before breakage of yarn and it is related with workability of machine and process * yarn elongation is nothing but the the fibre strength
The answer depends on what causes the elongation: a stretching force (tension) or thermal expansion.
Elongation.
One cycle of elongation adds one amino acid to the growing polypeptide chain. Therefore, to produce a protein with 100 amino acids, 99 cycles of elongation are required, as the initial methionine is not incorporated through elongation but rather at the initiation step of protein synthesis.
The elongation of a bar due to its own weight is the deformation or stretching that occurs in the bar when it is subjected to a gravitational force. This elongation can be calculated using the formula for axial strain: ΞL = (Ο * g * L^2) / (2 * E), where ΞL is the elongation, Ο is the density of the material, g is the acceleration due to gravity, L is the length of the bar, and E is the Young's modulus of the material.
The spring constant is a characteristic of the spring itself and represents its stiffness, regardless of the applied force or elongation. It is a constant value for a particular spring and is not influenced by external factors such as the amount of force applied or the degree of elongation.
The elongation of a tension specimen can be measured by marking a gauge length on the specimen before testing it and then comparing the final length of the specimen after it has been stretched to the original gauge length. The elongation can be calculated using the formula: Elongation = ((final length - original length) / original length) x 100%.
To calculate percent elongation with an equation: [(final length - initial length) / initial length] x 100 = percent elongation On a graph - To calculate percent elongation, draw a line to the x-axis from the point of fracture parallel to the straight line part of the graph. The extension at this point is then divided by the gauge length.
