NEETChemistryPolymers
What is a common feature of biodegradable synthetic polymers and biopolymers?
Options
- AThey are made from the same monomers
- BThey have similar chemical structures
- CThey resist degradation processes
- DThey are highly toxic to the environment
Correct answer
B. They have similar chemical structures
Step-by-step solution
Biodegradable synthetic polymers are designed to have functional groups similar to the functional groups present in biopolymers, giving them similar chemical structures.
